PostPosted: 6/26/2004, 7:16 pm    Post subject: Bob Knight staying in Texas Reply with quote

Ohio State passed up on the perfect oppurtunity to get one of the best coaches in college basketball history. Bobby Knight has always run a clean program which is what we wanted to have after Jim O'Brien paid the international player. I guess Andy Geiger (the A.D.) doesn't want any more negative attention floating around the basketball program if Bob Knight snaps.

Smart though... Knight is a lose cannon and is extremely unpredictable
Ohio State could have been a strong team w/ knights skills, but it would have been risky with knights past.

Worth the risk, I think. The kid at IU was wrong, in my book.

Suuure that kid was wrong

Bobby Knight has decided to stay at Texas A&M. Good move, he is a great coach, an idiot, but still a great coach.

Yeah, the kid was wrong. You don't say, what's up Last Name to anyone you don't know/don't know if they'll be ok with it. Especially if that someone is 40 years older than you. Way out of line.

Yeah, I think Knight being fired by IU was more of a PR thing because the school was going to start to look bad after a while by keeping him.
