Re: We could've had Bob Knight as our basketball coach :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:
bob knight is a legendary coach who might be a hot head but is still one of the greatest basketball coaches ever. but at this point i'd rather have trent johnson than knight.
I hate Bob Knight as much as I love the 86-87 LSU team. Bob should have been T'ed up again and tossed out of the game which is referenced below. There is no questioning Bob's basketball IQ, but he is a complete jack@$$ as he averages about one very embrassing event a year. March 22, 1987: After being assessed a technical foul, Knight bangs his fist on the scorer's table during Indiana's NCAA tournament game against LSU. The university was fined $10,000 by the NCAA and Knight received a reprimand. Hoosiers go on to win the game 77-76 en route to their 1987 NCAA title. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2004/basketball/ncaa/02/03/knight.timeline/
I used to hate that "because he is Bobby Knight" excuse. He used to get away with some pretty crappy stuff.
If he would've been assessed a technical foul the game might've turned out differently. I realize its a long shot but maybe Dale Brown's Tigers win a championship that year. After all they would've beaten the team that won it that year. It makes me totally sick to think that if it was anyone else coaching a technical foul would've been called. I think the refs were intimidated by Knight!:angryfire
i feel bad for all the UGA students at the game that were yelling for Knight. im not sure if i want them to get him or not.
...and the Final Four was where that year?...NEW ORLEANS!!! After that tirade the refs were intimidated and everything went Indiana's way. LSU was in control prior to that. I don't care how well he coaches or if he was nice to someone for a few moments when they met him...the guy is a world class jerk and should never be allowed in the PMAC much less be considered as an employee of Louisiana State University! Screw you Knight! I don't need to wait until you're dead to kiss your a$$. You can kiss mine now!
