Just another reason Bob Knight is a tool!

[RoadToad]

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.

Thanks, I hadn't heard that about the "menacing stare." That IS pretty funny.

"So,do you agree that if Rape is inevitable that you should lay there and enjoy it?" What in the world do you mean by that??? Let me guess, you have never been on a Dove hunt.....do you really think that he intentionally shot someone??? Get over yourself man!

Bob Knight made the Rape quote on National TV.

I've been hunting since 1963 and never shot anybody or anybodies house.

Congrats, me neither. What context was that quote made in???

For someone that went to IU and loves all things Bobby Knight, you seem to be quite lost on this one.

April 25, 1988: During an NBC interview with Connie Chung on the subject of stress, Knight utters the now-infamous quote: "I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." The remark triggers a protest march of about 300 people on the Indiana campus.

I wonder if he would have thought the line was so clever if his wife, mom or sister had been a rape victim?

Btw, I assist at a Wheelin Sportsmen dove hunt every year as well as a deer hunt for the same group os people. Not once has anybody shot another person. Of course, these are also people a lot brighter than Knight.


It is not the other persons fault, the other person was the victim, it is really not hard to understand. I am glad I don't have to teach hunter education with you, the woods would be littered with the dead and injured from "Accidents that were the other guys fault!"

Tim your are right about that quote....very out of line. As I have said on this thread, Knight has done some stupid things. As far as your last comment, about glad not teaching hunters ed. with me...you have no effin idea what type of hunter I am or what type of experience I have as a bird hunter. As far as I am concerned, you are a blow-hard who likes to turn other's words or actions around and make them fit what idealistic view you have of them. I am done with this thread.

Where did I turn your words around? YOU SAID:
"As far as the shooting accident, yes it was the other hunters fault.

Tim, no need to enlighten you or your other Louisville fans about how low U of L's Graduation rate was while Denny was the coach...... This story surfaced quite a few years ago and believe me...this very story was what turned me against the U of L program. Yes I was a U of L fan up to and including the 1986 year they won the championship....

But when a coach takes wins over education..I'm sorry i draw the line and that was what made me one of the biggest hater's of the U of L program....

So go ahead and look it up yourself, cause this my friend I know as fact and not hear say or rumor or as you would say in 99 % of your posts..My drivel again.......

Mills, you don't KNOW anyything. What you do is take half of what you hear, spin it to suit your needs and the regurgitate it as FACT! Every coach spends more time and energy on basketball, afterall that is what they get paid for. Do you hate all the coaches in the NCAA that didn't coach in the Ivy League or the Patriot league?

All of your so called facts, yet you have NEVER ONCE IN THE HISTORY OF THIS BOARD POSTED ANY LINKS OR OTHER INFORMATION TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIMS!

I lost faith in your FACTS a long time ago when you posted about a certain high school allowing athletes to fail a class and still be eligible. You see, you are a rumor monger and I try and find out the truth. The truth is, what you said on this very board was revealed to me by People who know to be false. Not some parents sitting in the stands at a football game, but actual athletic administration officials from the school you were accusing and other AD's at other schools.

Btw, when you stopped being a U of L fan the collective IQ of the Cardinal Nation rose by a few points!
