Just another reason Bob Knight is a tool!

[mhall]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say what I think Tim_T meant (correct me if I'm wrong) when he called Knight a "tool" was not someone of limited intelligence, as many people use the word, but rather, "a complete a-hole," and I agree 100%. And the response that, "No, he's not, he's a great basketball coach" proves the point about how that's why people give him a pass. But the truth is you can be both, a complete schmuck, AND a great basketball coach, and that's exactly what Knight is, IMO. Tim's absolutely right, no matter what he's accomplished on a basketball court, it doesn't justify his behavior, period. And saying that other coaches are just as bad does nothing to change the truth of that statement.

As to the Kuric call, I'm no hoops expert, but from watching the replay it looks to me like he said something to the kid laying on his back, and that's what got him the technical foul.

Toad, go on youtube and watch several different clips of it. You can slow it down and pause whatever, he never said a word. Even the ref told Pitino he gave it to him for the menacing stare nothing being said. Menacing stare, that is just funny.

If he was any of the media darlings he could have screamed at the top of his lungs, beat his chest like a silverback Gorilla and it would have been just fine. Poor ole choirboy white kid can't get by with that though, so sorry you sir just got a ''T'', LOL.
