He's now with his biggest fan.

I still laugh at this. There were times I wish Tacy or Odom had thrown the chair against UNC as we were getting screwed by the refs.

 

[CDeacMan]

I’ll put on my game face in his honor

 

[Bluegrass Deac]

Will they bury him upside down?

 

[Henry Chinaski]

Meh good riddance.

 

[Deaconblue]

Thoughts, prayers and condolences to his family and friends.

Loved him or hated him, he was a large presence in college basketball for decades.

When will another team match the perfect season of his 1976 team?

 

[CreamyGoodness]

He's now with his biggest fan.

Ha

 

[DeacinBama]

Didn’t realize he went to Ohio State until reading ESPN’s ticker.

I’m slightly less sad now.

 

[Milhouse]

he’s dead then

He's now with his biggest fan.

BKF passed away? I thought he was just banned.

 

[Wakeforest22890]

He passed away like three years ago

He passed away like three years ago

Wow. I didn’t know this either.

 

[awakegirl]

I’ll add that the real BK was obviously an extremely problematic person but a great evaluator of talent. He also understood the game in a way maybe no one else has. I loved the brief shining moment when he was a commentator.

At the risk of people thinking I’m BKF because of overposting, this is a great read.

Jay Bilas: I liked the Bob Knight I knew

Bob Knight, who has died at age 83, had his many faults, but he also had admirable traits, including friendship.

Cant wait for a week of seeing the picture of him and Coach K at Army and hearing Coach K’s thoughts.

 

[BacktoBack]

He acted like a petulant child and seemed like a self absorbed asshole. But, the guy definitely knew basketball.

[LilburnDeac]

Knight was an asshole. He knew he was an asshole. He owned it.
K is an asshole. He knows he’s an asshole. But he tries to pretend he’s some kind of saint.
Give me the asshole who owns over the hypocrite who tries to pretend he’s not.

wait....bobknightfan is dead? I play this nerdy simulation baseball game on a website and one of the guys on there is named bobknightfan so I always assumed it was the same guy.
