Is this any different with any other coach? If you listen to ESPN often, they complain about the officiating and calls that they do not understand or they feel the officials blew. A great example of this was when you listen to Doug Gottlieb. He is always complaining about calls and he complained a call in the Georgetown game where a GT player was fouled on a dunk and hung on the rim. Gottlieb claimed there should have likely been a T for hanging on the rim. But the Hank Nichols made it very clear that a fouled shooter that dunks cannot be called for a T. But as usually Gottlieb's only knowledge of the game is mostly as a player. He never officiated a day in his life and why he made such stupid comments earlier about Rick Hartzell. Knight is no different. He has spent his entire life coaching and he never looks at the game through the official's eyes and likely never will. I never expect coaches and players to have a different opinion than they do. Even Jay Bilas, who actually seemed like he knew the rules really well, spends a lot of this time ripping officials. I really think that is the direction ESPN is going with their commentating and someone more than the commentators in my opinion are pushing those kinds of comments.

Peace
