Knight still at it

Help Support CattleToday:

Still at what? Being a conservative and not giving a dang about what others think and speaking your mind offends lots of liberal dumocrats. The liberal dumocrats have been on uncle Ted lately also. Trying to cover up the fact that real Americans have about had all they want from the liberal left.

He is not a prominent Conservative. At least not what he is known for. I am referring to his behavior. I agree with you that he speaks his mind, all two ounces of it. :D

At least he raised two good upstanding kids. Can't be a total pos.

I wouldn't call anyone a POS including Bob Knight. Nevertheless, he is not someone many would point out as a model of behavior. Those are actually his own words referring to himself.

He for sure has his faults, and who knows what the heck he's thinking sometimes. He hurt a few kids along the way for sure, but supposedly helped many more. IDK Most kids are a reflection of their parents, and he has two good men as kids.

This is much ado about nothing. You should have better things to research and post about than this Raven. He!!, you don't even follow sports.

She must be an angel, I don't know how could any woman could put up with him for 30 years. He's put a bulls eye on himself and earned his reputation for sure.
 
He single handedly raised the seed money to build the new library at Texas Tech when he's was there. No fanfare or kudos given for that ...

His focus was always on education.

... now, some of his methods ...

He could have been the greatest coach of all time. But he has issues. The web is littered with clips of unbelievable behavior. Only an idiot could ignore it.

True, but how many folks did he put out of a job and starve their kids, all in the name of doing your job.

The person he hurt most was himself. Take it from two of the most influential people in his career:

He is a man distracted by annoyances to an unhealthy degree. Knight "often stalks the insignificant." Knight's mentor, basketball coach Pete Newell: "There are times Bobby comes so close to self-destructing." Edwin Cady, a former IU professor who helped get Knight hired in 1971, added: "He's in a race now between overcoming immaturity and disaster."

Are you saying I'm ignoring his behavior, and therefore am an idiot?

Reads that way to me. I wouldn't put up with such nonsense especially out of a Simmental breeder!

I fixed it. I am not a sports fan but in my 66 years (67 on 13 August), I was attentive to the behavior of Bob Knight. I read the 1986 book, Season on the Brink. His behavior makes Genghis Khan look like Mother Teresa.

It is documented that he choked 4 people. Yet he was adamant that no one lay a hand on him.

He did not allow students at assembly hall to chant profanity, yet I could put up a clip where he spoke for 5 minutes and every third word is obscene profanity.

Friend, he wrote the book, set the standard, set the bar, provided the road map, etc. for hypocracy, profanity, boorish behavior, violent temper tantrums, immaturity, and self-destruction. In my 67 years, I know of no person, private or public, who holds a candle to him.

Looking like possibly might get to add sexual misconduct to the list. I would hope his kids aren't a reflection of him.

Fence, sexual misconduct is not new to Knight. He is famous for an interview saying that if a woman is going to be raped, "She should just lay back and enjoy it".
