If you do it with someone's hand grasped firmly on your neck "area" two seconds feels like a long time.

Dino was fired because he wouldn't back down to Wellman's ego. So Wellmen went out and hired someone who would be his submissive little bitch.
 
I, for one, am now optimistic that when Bz eventually gets fired, bkf will go away and become a UNC fan for another 25 years.

If they played for Bob Knight, he probably would have beat them into a coma so they wouldn't have been able to come out of their room.

And again, are you 100% sure Bob Knight had no "issues" on his team...ever?

Right. If he didn't have "issues" on his team, he wouldn't have had to choke his players and constantly berate them. Or would he?

Knight "threw" the chair. Actually, if you saw it, he didn't "throw" the chair as much as he "slid" it across the court. And, if you will remember, it was just before a technical free throw, so the court was basically empty. The chair didn't come anywhere close to hitting anyone. And it was very early in the game.

I'm sorry, but this is one of the funniest damn things I have read. "Guys, guys, it's cool, he didn't actually get the chair airborne, he just slid it." Right, because whether the chair got off the freaking ground is the key aspect of that incident. Genius.

Knight's team was playing poorly (against arch-rival Purdue) and his motivation was to wake up and shock his own players, more than to show displeasure with the officials. However, considering that it only happened once....more than 28 years ago....and is still the first thing that many people think of when Knight's name is mentioned is a testament to the power of the media. People who don't know anything about Knight's graduation rate, his completely clean program record or his generosity to academics like his gifts to the Indiana & Texas Tech libraries know that he is the guy who "threw" a chair.....or, more accurately say he is the guy who threw chairs, as if it were a regular occurance.

Glad you told me about this thread bkf. For the record, I am a lifetime IU fan and have much admiration for Bob Knight. However, that is not quite the way it happened, Bud. First of all, he threw that chair as far as he could, and it ended up in the handicap section. He was mad about the officiating along with the technical. You are right that it only happened once. Of course that they chained all of the Indiana's chairs together afterword might have had something to do with it. I loved Bob knight when he was at Indiana. You couldn't stop him, you could only try to contain him.....by well...chaining the chairs together. It was funny at the time....little sad now. Here is a good video of what went down that day.

The first one is the best.

If Bob Knight is your role model, it says allot about you and gives a slight insight into your litany of insecurities.


1999 - Knight attacks another diner in a restaurant parking lot after the diner accuses him of making a racial comment (inside the restaurant) about blacks. Knight put a choke hold on the other man, leaving marks on his throat. Charges were never filed.

1997 - Player C. Jason Collier leaves the team citing Knights constant verbal abuse. A column in the Indianapolis Star the next day, suggests Knight should quit.

1997 - After a home loss to Purdue, Knight is heard chewing out an empty locker room.

1993 - Knight kicks his own son, Patrick, during a game with Notre Dame and receives a one game suspension.

1988 - Knight tells Connie Chung, "If rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." He later claimed his comment was out of context. One has to ask, what type of context could he possibly have used that would have justified such a comment?

1987 - The university was fined $10,000 and Knight received a reprimand for banging his fist on a scorer's table during a game with LSU in an NCAA Regional Tournament.

1985 - Knight throws a chair across court during a game with Purdue and is suspended for one game.

1983 - In Philadelphia, Knight shoves an LSU fan into a garbage can during a scuffle at the NCAA finals.

1979 - Knight threw a student newspaper photographer into some bushes because the student took his picture while he was having an argument with a bicyclist about the right-of-way.

He wasn't an attorney. He was the business manager of Chowan College (now University.) Appreciate the info, but had to correct you here.

You are indeed correct. I realize that I got that confused with his friend in Murfreesboro, Charles Revelle. It has been a few years!
 
Besides Wellman anybody who helped him expose some players in the media while covering for others has to be fired as well. This type of unethical activity really shows how low they are willing to go.
 
I still remember the 3 Ari hit from about Wilmimgton on the map of NC at center court in the Dean Dome when we beat UNC at Chapel Hill. Of course that feels like about 20 years ago now.
 
Didn't Knight drop his drawers on an airplane in Puerto Rico and moon the country out the window after the Pan Am games in the 1970s?


Funny as hell but not exactly classy behavior from a so-called shaper of men.
 
Oh man, totally forgot about the "Relax and enjoy it" line. What a great role model
 
Didn't he also once take a shit after a game and show the used TP to his team as an analogy for how they played?

No coach should ever put their hands on a player in an aggressive or threatening manner for any amount of time. Ever.

BTW, the act of throwing a punch lasts less than 2 seconds, so I guess it would have been okay for Knight to punch the player since a punch is quick?

Insanity.

he also:

" Knight is charged and later convicted in absentia for hitting a policeman before practice at the Pan American Games in Puerto Rico."

keep in mind he was coaching pan am games. according to bkf, knight was representing usa and should have been fired.
 
What an idiot. It is not hard to stay eligible at USC. Plus, he's been in college for 4 years plus sessions of summer school. For chrissake.

Does that mean Skip was a submissive bitch? Wellman hired him and never fired him
 
Embarrassed Ari ever laced 'em up for Wake Forest. Pretty solid crow to eat for all the posters who predicted wild success for Ari as soon as he got out of our program...
 
Did any of you ever watch Knight's Indiana teams play basketball? They played a beautiful game. Knight was a flawed man but his teams played beautiful team basketball, and he ran a clean program, perhaps the cleanest big-time program in America. And besides, he's easily the best commentator in college basketball today. Think about it. He was the best in two different careers. Most of the people posting on these boards will never come close to being the best in their profession, much less doing it in two different careers. And he did it without cheating in a profession where cheatring is often the norm.
