"Bobby, how does it feel to be eliminated from March Madness in the first round YET AGAIN, while your old team will be playing in the Final Four this weekend?"

Coach Knight took a Texas Tech basketball team that won only 9 games last year to a 23-9 record this year. He is also a current finalist for the Claire Bee "Coach of the Year" award. And how did those Nittany Lions do? : 7-21 in what may have been one of the worst college basketball programs in the country this year.

I don't defend the Penn State program. Jerry Dunn is possibly the worst coach in America, and I usually root for PSU to lose. That's the only way he'll be sent packing, and then the program can get back on track.

Knight's X's and O's are obviously quite sound. But his continual in-your-face assault for five months clearly wears on his players, leaving them with little/no gas in the tank come March. Coaches who understand how to manage their team for an entire season fare much better when it counts.

His off the court behavior is repugnant, and well documented. No need to discuss that any further.
