    Bobby Knight’s assessment on Jordan as the best basketball player he’s ever seen was the best observation in the history of sports.

    Yes, even before Jordan dribbled a ball in an NBA game! To put his basketball reputation on the line saying such a thing was bold and courageous, but turned out to be absolutely true. Simply incredible foresight. Goes to show how much knowledge and mastery of the game he had.

    Coach Knight was supposedly talking to the Trailblazers about potential prospects for the 84 Draft after the Olympics. He was selling MJ as the best player he had ever seen and Portland was saying that they had a 2 guard in Drexler already and that they needed a center. Knight's response.... "Well play him at fucking center then"

    True story. Will try to keep it short. Have a free day off while on a business trip to Washington state. Im from Ohio. Always wanted to fly fish. Never had. Im totally green. Drive south one hour from Seattle to a random small river. Rent my stuff from a fly fishing shop. Owner makes a comment about my Buckeye ballcap and how far I am from home. Head to the river ( 200 yards away) . Pick my spot . Fall down the 50 foot embankment to waters edge. See one human on the whole river. He is eyeballing me like im a dunce. I realize I am a dunce too. My game is a disaster. In 5-10 minutes im tangled. Hate fly fishing i think. The lone human approaches looking kinda pissed. I think i made him pissed. He is now to me. Im silent. He says and I quote , lose the hat and I will give you some pointers. My mind is firing 1000 mph. Thats coach Knight! I think thats coach fucking Knight. ( Had no idea he was passionate about fly fishing) . Long story short. Nicest guy EVER. Spent an hour on and off helping me get it right. He departed shirtly thereafter and from the top of the 50 bank told me to be careful not to fall up tge bank too. On my children......true story. Cant remember yhe year but somewhere around 1995 or so. Godspeed coach. Hope your crushing them in heaven.

    There used to be a great fishing show on TV back decades ago called "Fishin Hole with Jerry McKinnis". Jerry and Bob Knight were close friends and he appeared in a couple different episode. It was apparent in those shows how much Bobby really loved to fish. Last time a NCAA men's basketball team went undefeated and won the tournament was the University of Indiana in 1976, coached by the General Robert Montgomery Knight.

    Your reasoning is why such antiquated methods still exist. Just because you got great results doesn't mean that this type of coaching works. Your coach might have forced you to do the correct drills. You need a control group to know if it was worked. The truth is this type of coaching is antiquated. Research has shown you could accomplish a lot more by utilizing on both positive and negative reinforcement. Second, Americans' fascination with sports and athletics is backward. It's glorifying the pursuit of athletics over intelligence.

    It would last. He let go of Charles Barkley for the 84 Olympics because Barkley tried to Undermine him too early. You have to earn a coaches praise first then undermine him. Then he doesn't mind because you will do whatever he says then you can say whatever you want after.

    Tyrant? Do you know what that means? A hall of fame coach that demanded excellence, and kids that don’t want to listen to brilliance and back talk. What did the guy actually do, that as an adult you haven’t thought about ? Don’t worry I will wait. Weak minded people create weak people. Wish there was more Bobby knights in this world. We as a society need this discipline. We are out of control.

    OK, THIS a PHENOMENAL story I wish could be ‘pinned’ for all to read. Cause ironically, I’m a lifelong Washingtonian :) who revered Coach Knight from afar - as a HS/college student during the height of his 80’s run - with aspirations of being a Head Coach someday; which I would end up doing for 2+ decades, but as a 🏈 Coach. Crazier yet however, is that the very moment I’m reading this, I’m currently visiting my parents in Olympia, WA, which is ‘1 Hour South of Seattle’! 😀 And while I don’t expect you to remember the city or river from ~40 years ago, the mere fact I ‘looked’ for this interview and actually ‘looked’ at the comments (as opposed to some algorithm or AI Bot knowing where I am and that there would be a singular comment whose only real connections is the location you mentioned; let alone the odds I’d even read the comments - which I never do) is quite frankly, a little wild & really damn cool IMO! 👊🏼 Not sure you will even see this reply to your specific comment, but if you do, thanks for sharing your fantastic story about Coach Knight and hope you have a PHENOMENAL Day! PS. Can’t wait to share your comment with a ton of nearby family & friends who also loved Coach Knight as we didn’t judge him on just the overhyped negative that was shown back in the day. Knowing there had to also be a ton of POSITIVE reasons the best players in America 🇺🇸 continued to go play for him year after year after year; and MJ sure didn’t seem to have any issues with him Coach Knight while briefly under his tutelage either! 💯

    This was during a time when the USA sent the best college kids to compete. We started sending our pros after the college kids could no longer match up with the players around the world who were actually professionals themselves. Nobody talks about this when they discuss the Olympics. Several Dream Team players were on this Olympic team during their final year of college. Jordan, Ewing, Chris Mullen, Sir Charles.
