'When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want them to bury me upside down, so my critics can kiss my ass!' Bobby Knight.

Yeah, see, that's the kind of talk that makes some of us roll our eyes and cringe. However, I'm from Indiana, and a lot of people there love his over the top attitude. He truly knew basketball, and I'm sure he cared a lot. May he rest in peace.

@@PthaloGreen2 funny to frame illegal and violent abuse and psychosis as “over the top attitude”
talked to Bob once and gave me the time b/c i went to West Point. talked zero about BB but everything about history and other mundane topics. loved this man for 30 years and really makes me sad. rip
Coach Bob Knight is the reason I became a fan of IU’s men’s basketball team when I was a 8th grader. I fell in love with his coach style and a particular player on his team that amazed me (Calbert Chaney).

Weird considering he’s an abusive lunatic and violent assaulter
I saw an interview several years ago. It was one of coach knight's former players. He told a story that he lost his job, got an eviction notice, and his wife is having a baby due in a couple of weeks. He called his former coach told him about his situation. Begging the coach for help. Few days later not only coach knight help him get a job but also found a place for him and his wife. I'm hearing some of these negative comments from other people even former players (especially the weak ones). But coach knight did some really good things that out weight the bad. His graduation among his players is almost 100% and you never heard any off the court incidents among his players. Coach knight was a leader among men and he loved his players regardless.

Yeah, any player who wouldn't put up with his abuse and transferred is weak. He was a piece of garbage and I'm glad he lost what was left of his mind and suffered before he croaked. RIP Neil Reed and Jason Collier.

What a miserable loser you are to talk about someone who has died. Bobby Knight is one of the greatest coaches in any sport ever. What have you done with your miserable lousy ass life?
Rest in peace Coach, you were one of the greatest Steve.
One of the all time “he got that DAWG in him” coaches. Throwing chairs, choking players, fighting police, no political correctness in speeches.

R.I.P. Coach Bob Knight
Rip king and legend
I grew up wanting to play for coach! Didn't quite make it haha but grew up watching early 90s Hoosiers and was definitely sad when I heard he passed the other night. He was something else but i was always a fan.
He stands as a remarkable basketball coach and a mentor who has shaped countless young men. Nearly 95% of his students graduated under his tenure, and an astounding 99% of them have grown into exemplary and productive individuals. This enduring legacy is the essence of his remarkable career.
This Knight was a King!
Wayman Tisdale was on that Olympic Team. And right after those Olympics were over he was asked, ‘What are you going to do now?’ To which he replied, ‘First thing is I’m going back to my hometown and hug & kiss everyone I used to think was mean!’
Rest in peace COACH
I don’t completely appreciate all the scrutiny. The man was one of the most passionate coaches ever! God Bless 🙏🏻

Bob Knight represented everything great about this nation at one time. The fact that he is smeared in thr modern era is a notch in his belt, in my book. Whiners, cryers, and weak Westerners are the ones who criticize him because our entire society is soft. Bob Knight is a perfect representation of his era, before the world went mad.
Would like to see a movie done on him.
Rip Coach Knight
Bob knight was good man and just lot of things in This life time and just ask your shelf and just say people be high school went two

I loved the way he would get in the players face and challenged them. And he didn’t take no 💩 from them refs either. 🫡💯
His players all Love him, he's not a racist or a pedophile, just an old school style coach. So hes alright by me, this younger generation just cant handle people like him, That's just how that Generation of coaches 🤷 were. John Chaney, Jim Calhoun, Jim Boeheim, John Thompson ect.. highest graduation rate, zero infractions, and he loved his players.

Yes, a great player and by all accounts a good man, unlike Knight.
One player of his players made an NBA all star team (Isiah Thomas). Did he achieve a lot with lesser talent or were his players only good enough to play well in college? I never was a fan of his because he was a bully. He was a child in many ways. But his death is still unfortunate. The Christian in me says he didn’t know any better and was lashing out for a reason. So forgiveness is in order. But as a human, I had a hard time separating the man from the bully behavior.
Before he threw the chair the ref told him to take a seat. So he did what the ref said!!
Bob Knight did once have Larry Bird at Indiana, but Bird may not have actually played there.

Lemme guess SAS was main boys with Bobby Knight his whole life even though Bob Knight ain't done anything for 20 years....SAS was his boy and they go way back and he loved him and they were just gonna link up for an interview!
We only have a few greats left. Maybe just three now.
I noticed SAS didn't speak about the B.S. stuff Bob Knight did in his career but he was always quick to do so about guys like Jason Kidd and other brothers as if it was always necessary to do so. #SMDH
Bob knight ran out of F’s to give since birth 🫡 rest easy coach
RIP to the chair he threw 🪑
The Seventh Circle of Hell has a new head coach.
I can’t make this up, I just gave a Lyft ride to a former chargers corner who made sure to make a point to myself that he had one good punch left in him and he is saving it for Stephan a smith. Look up Chatrick Better watch your back Steve
We Hoosiers love him. He will always be our guy
to say he didnt have talented players would be misleading, but yeah compared to other coaches with similar tenure, he didnt get all the Studs by default.. also being so close to Kentucky was recruiting disadvantage im sure !
Be sure to bury Bob upside down .. Critics pucker up. RestInPower Coach Knight.

What does Gen Z have to do with it? Those of us who saw him throughout his career know he was a bully and a POS.
Maybe if he wasn’t such a hard ass person when it came to basketball, he would have been more liked and not gotten fired. He was a very temperamental person.
Only thing I remember him for is beating up his players
They don't make them like Bob Knight anymore
He will be remembered mostly for his violent temper and abuse.

5:17 - his issue with the NBA was that he couldn't cuss out or put his hands on NBA players. They'd knock his ass tf out. 🤕Plain & simple he was a bully to late teens & young men. 🤷♂️

Stephen A doesn't understand that the NBA is about entertainment not the fundamentals of the game and lots of players throw rules out the window in pro ball.
Coach knight didn't hurt anybody. Waaaa waaa waaa he put his hands on a player. Grow up.
I wonder if they will burry him face down like he wanted so his critics can kiss his ass 😂😂😂
Why are we americans so one sided
Draft Michael Jordan and play him at Center

Terrible human being. Great coach.
he was the ultimate HYPOCRITE...demanding that much from his players and not giving a damn about what he was saying or doing to others? HYPOCRISY...i couldn't stand the guy..
He was a 10000% jerk old school intimidator did not like him
Misogynist and racist. He knew basketball though. No denying that.
Bobby Knight was verbally abusive to his players, assistants, referees, and school administrators! He was physically abusive to his players as well.
