What about Kobe last night?

[lroberts]

I think Phil gets a bad rap sometimes because of his sideline demeanor and the fact that he has great players. First, nobody wins without great players in the NBA and second, what did other coaches do with those same great players? Look at the Lkaers. Del harriss couldn't win a title with Shaq and Kobe, but Phil came in and won three. What happened when Phil left? Shaq bailed and the Lakers were terrible. Phil comes back with Kobe as the main man and starts winning titles again.

I have always thought coach K was the best in the game and one of the best ever. He has done wonders at Duke and he did a great job with the Olympic team getting all those stars to mesh together.

Larry Brown is also a great coach who won a college title and an NBA title. He also took UCLA to the finals and has turned around some dismal NBA teams. The guy took the Clippers to the playoffs for pete's sake.

As for Bobby Knight, he is truly a great coach, one of the best ever. That is all I can say good about him!

I know it hurt to say that Tim!!!!!!!!! Although he has done many other great things also. Raising $$$ for his schools, graduating players, helping those players after school (finding jobs), and NEVER even a hint of NCAA violations/sanctions. Too bad he couldn't have treated (humored) the media better, especially knowing that he is one of them now!

From a coaching standpoint, Knight is in the top 10 of all time. Add in the way he treated the media FOREVER, the chair throwing incident, Neil Reed incident and the other stuff he did off the court tarnishes his reputation and he still has not learned with his recent comments and BS apology. He is a Hall of Famer due to his on court record and maybe so if the off court activities GOOD outweigh the BAD, but us that don't follow IU basketball that closely only hear about the STUPID stuff that he does
