Gregg Doyel has a tremendous column on the General at CBSSportsline.

yes, it is.

too bad Miles Brand is an idiot with a powertrip.

I'm sure that keeps him up at night.

why? because he wins? because he calls them like he sees them? because he runs clean programs everywhere he goes? because he coached at the academy?

interesting to see that from somebody who lives in Indiana. i'm guessing you haven't lived there your whole life.

Rocky Top · 11-09-2006, 11:53 PM

Actualy I have lived here my whole life. Knight is a great coach but the guy is a total prick. Just because you live in Indiana not everyone thinks he's a God.

P.S.: I've heard he does miss out on some sleep at nites worrying about what I think. He said so in a interview one time.

funny how honest people get labled as pricks.

throwing chairs onto the court and choking your players can get you that kind of label.

Kevin O'neil was labeled a prick as well.

Another example of how telling the truth gets you labeled. It's interesting, I find most people who think Knight is a prick to be pious, puritanical a$$holes.

Not all of us "pious, puritanical a$$holes" think Knight is a prick.

I would have been quite surprised if you were a Knight detractor.

so are you saying that I'm a prick, or a pious, puritanical icehole? you have me confused since quoting me makes no sense.

I take that as a very high compliment.

One of the odd things I have noticed about those who despise 'The General' is that they usually are also the ones who make quick comments about teams that 'don't have a single white player on the court.'

It is truly baffling...

They're also the fans who blather on and on about players running afoul of the law off the court and failing to graduate. They conveniently overlook Knight's record on those two issues.

I think Jimmy Buffet would consider Bobby Knight "An over-forty victim of fate...arriving too late". I cannot think of Knight without thinking about a certain pinheaded journalist who continues to live off of his father's reputation.
