Bob Knight's Latest

[JRutledge]

Whether you think the man is a jerk is more about you than him. First of all he has never been a jerk to me. Secondly the people that say he is a jerk are often people in the media who comments about the same stupid stuff as we talk about when Billy Packer opens his mouth or many other commentators give an opinion about something they know nothing about. I think Bobby Knight is one of the few coaches that challenge the media and the media does everything to try to blow out of proportion things he does. For one most media people never played a single minute of college basketball or any sport in HS, but for some reason because they want an interview, all sports figures are supposed to help make their jobs easier by telling them something they already know by what they saw. I just watched a Michigan team stick up the Rose Bowl in person and I do not need Lloyd Carr to tell me what happen. I already saw what happen. But if you do not give an interview to the right reporter as a player or coach, I am a bad guy. Give me a break.

And if I recollect correctly, didn't you say you would be in Pasadena? How bad did it really smell?

I don't like Knight, because his misbehavior (which seems to be great entertainment) sets such a bad example for the 99% of coaches who will never coach in the pros or college.

JRut, I don't need anybody in the media to tell me that BK did or didn't strike a player or throw a chair. Your routine of taking the oppositional side and attempting to put a politically correct spin on a fairly obvious situation grows tiresome.

If you do not like the positions I take, then you know where the door is. I also feel a lot of people are influenced by what the media tells them whether it is about Bob Knight or the ability of officials during a particular game. If you do not like those positions, then do not post here, go away and you will never have to worry about the positions I take or the reasons I take them.

Peace

You know, JRut, for someone who's signoff line is "Peace," you often take a brow-beating stance. I think I'm entitled to disagree with you and even roll my eyes once in a while without being told to leave. Tell you what, from now on I'll just praise your unique insight. Can I stay now?
