He rarely second guessed himself, even whilst racisting
Don't bet the Thursday thunder , the Titans are gonna crush it. SAVE US WILL LEVIS!
I had 4 Co-Workers tell Me today that Bob Knight was awesome. Hitting "Kid's" Ehh. I thought he was pretty cool. Pretty sure Mike Ryan is running around Miami with a Rainbow Flag screaming "The Witch is dead, the witch is dead !!" I'm a Marine, I have a potty mouth. So Mike Ryan, Supergirl it up brother. Let's hear what she has to say. Or he? I think he has a child, whatever Mike's pronoun is. Go !
Bob Knight was a good coach on the W/Ls stat and maybe he was good at one point with the kids, but my God what a sexist piece of garbage.
"Bobby Knight wasn't racist, he just liked making racist jokes to his friends." Makes sense to meπ.
I found the clown show.
Mile Ryan acknowledging the SCF Champions is GOLD βοΈβοΈβοΈ
Why yβall shitting all over Bobby knight one day after his death ?
Bob Knight could care less about being roasted but there is no proof he was racist
Bobby threw a vase at a secretary????β¦..sounds like a case for Miami vase
Again… Trump isn't racist. Hey Roy give me a racist Trump quote!
Nobody won more with less talent than any other coach in any sport. 1 NBA all star (Isiah Thomas)
Hoosier-born-raised-educated, 305-adulthood. Knight came to IU when I was in preschool. I'll go to my grave remembering all kinds of stuff about IU hoops of my youth and college years. His players graduated and not by taking punk classes. He also embarrassed my school and native state every time he did something like the chair, the comments about Puerto Rico after the incident at the 79 Pan Am Games or his incredibly misogynist views.
When IU was contending for national titles under Knight, he was seen by many in the state as a symbol of brilliant basketball coaching, old school masculinity, white guy in charge, and exactly the kind of authoritarianism America's not supposed to be about. A huge chunk of Indiana loved him. A smaller piece despised him. Even I got sick of people mentioning him whenever I said I went to IU, a school I was proud of for so many non-sports assets, much as I loved football, soccer and basketball.
It's been 23 years since Knight was fired at FIU, 29 since his last Sweet Sixteen team there, 31 since the last Final Four team and 36 since the last national champion. That's one or two generations of citizens, depending on how you count it. That kind of separation means he's not as revered in Indiana as, say, 2000, when a bunch of idiot students rioted after his firing.
Is he racist? I don't know that he's any more racist than most Americans are (An IU prof I had said, "If you're raised in America, you are a racist. It comes from breathing the racist air" and I've met less than 10 people of any skin tone who have made me question that). Where most people keep their racist thoughts in their heads, that's never something Knight does. Isaiah Thomas, who caught Knight's most infamous N-bomb during a locker room tantrum, regularly sang his praises as a coach and teacher decades later. Steve Downing, Quinn Buckner, Scott May are archloyalists (Knight's family requests donations be made to Marian, where Downing is AD). His actions with Landon Turner after the crash — before the crash, he was an abusive bully to Turner — aren't those of someone who's ready to don a sheet. Contrast that with his actions toward Luke Recker after that tragic crash. Which brings us to, as some have noted, Knight actually seemed to have something more against the stereotypical white Indiana Mr. Basketball-type who came to IU. Look at the list of guys who left IU or flat out wouldn't play for him. He got fired after choking Neil Reed. He didn't lay a hand on South Miami native Charlie Miller.
Maybe the best college-affiliated basketball coach ever as far as the actual coaching of the game. Capable of great charity. Devoted misogynist. Abusive asshole.
But, that's just one Black man's opinion. I could be wrong.
βComplicatedβ is a euphemism for βasshole.β

What did Bobby Knight do as a coach that Juwan Howard hasn't? Was able to watch less than 2 minutes of these a-holes before I have to check out.
Definitely racists. But I think itβs foul to bring up this stuff when people die. Bring it up while they are alive
Way too much crosstalkβ¦I love Le Batard, but need to quiet the peanut gallery
He was a thin skinned baby
