RIP General
Coach Knight was perhaps the number one coach you didn't want to play if he had 3-4 days to prepare for you !!! Genius coach. Don't agree with all of his tactics but he was straight with no cheating. Made sure his kids went to school. He was for more than just basketball for his players. Many of his players loved him and would do anything for him !!!
Loved how he told coach k to let someone else coach the Olympic team after he coached them the first time. Of course k and his ego had to coach them 2 more times.
Loved listening to him replying to reporters ... no holds bard.

Not completely true.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

Living in the land of Cream and Crimson, it's a wonder they don't make his birthday a state holiday. For a quarter of a century they've been longing for another (Bully) coach like Knight to come along and lead them to the promised land. They still have the "last team to go undefeated to hang their hats on, but the crowd that even remembers this happening is beginning to wane a little bit. It was almost 50 years ago now!
May he rest in peace!

I didn't like him as A coach and even less as an announcer.

He was as much, if not more, of a womanizer as Pitino.
He had more than just anger issues and ego problems. He was awful. Too many stories by people close to the program to ignore.
But, RIP. I sincerely hope he repented and accepted Christ before he passed away.
