Bobby Knight wannabes
Get ready for more Bobby Knight wannabes........ Twice today, during the Texas Tech-Bucknell game, I watched as Knight put his hands on officials and moved them out of his way near his bench. The officials were positioned briefly in front of Knight's chair and he became annoyed apparently because they obstructed his view. I've seen him do this before and I guess the guys working his games consider this acceptable behavior.
I've heard an occasional complaint in my games, but I'm not sure how I would react if a coach decided to physically help me move out of his way. |

I had a female coach push my tush once in that situation. I kept moving back to the same spot, hoping she would do it again, but no such luck.

If we saw the same thing...............
If I saw what you are talking about on the ESPN SportsCenter, I do not even know if that would deserve a comment. Also we do not know what was said and the conversation did not seem at all confrontational. Let us also keep in mind that an officials and coaches relationship at that level is a totally different relationship. You cannot compare what took place at this game the same way of what you or I do. I have also had coaches make contact with me during a game and I was not offended and there was no confrontation involved. There is more than what meets the eye sometimes.
Peace

I agree
JRut, I agree. I'm not familiar with that coach-official relationship nor that level. I also agree that neither situation seemed to be confrontational. One of the two times, however, Knight was clearly agitated by the official's positioning. He grabbed the guy by both shoulders and appeared to "help him move" while barking in his ear the entire time. Obviously, the officials had no problem with it.
I'm not a Knight-basher at all, but I know how often high school coaches emulate what they see on TV. |
