Coach Knight

Passed away today. May he rest in peace.

I’ll throw a chair in his memory.

Will they bury him face up or face down?

RIP Bobby.
He was a hell of a coach. One of those people I think you either loved him or hated him.

Close personal friend of Sid Hartman.

He was a winner. Did a lot of good things for his players and Indiana U. He obviously lost his marbles in the last 10 yrs. Has a ton of loyal players. I wouldn’t have been able to handle his antics tho.

Knight once said he wanted to be buried upside down so “My critics can kiss my a$$”

RIP. He was awesome!

I had a coach who coached my 5th-8th grade years. He was tough and loud. A lot of opposing coaches and schools made many complaints. we had a couple kids come and go in those years but there was 7 of us core boys that played all those years at a small Catholic school… He was at all 7 of our weddings..

I don’t know Coach Knight…. So I’ll take the opinions of 99% of his players that would run through a wall for him vs 1% that fed the lib media hype machine.

That coaching style and personality died in the 70s and 80s. He would have no shot in hell doing anything now. He was abrasive and likely ignorant, to say the least.

If he is buried face down … it may face the direction he is headed. Only God and Lucifer know at this point.

Buffoon statement #1: “I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it.” — Knight, using an offensive analogy, during a 1988 interview with NBC on dealing with stress.

Surprised really that someone that Type A and so angry at everything lived to 83.

Most anyone younger than say 50 or so barely knows more than the name.

If he is buried face down … it may face the direction he is headed. Only God and Lucifer know at this point.

Knight “ignorant”? I can’t wait for this story….go ahead.

He obviously didn’t know a license was needed to hunt in Wisconsin https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-oct-22-sp-25153-story.html

I just sent condolences to LenH, who had guided him in the Driftless Area trout fishing.

I know not of Coach Knight’s upbringing other than he was a bball player in high school and at the Ohio State University on a team that won the NCAA. His coaching career began at West Point and Coach K was one of his assistants. I find it interesting that there are many fans that don’t like “mild-mannered” coaches and want the dude bringing the “fire and brimstone” which would seem to fit Knight’s style.

Brittman you’re entitled to your opinion, it would just seem that showing a little respect in his death might fit…

Jeremy I have a story for you.

After his WI hunting fiasco I was at the Badger vs Hoosier mens basketball game at the Kohl center.
As the UW students were filling in their sections of the Kohl Center I was baffled that about 75% of the students had blaze orange on. Hats, coats, vests, anything blaze orange.
The light bulb finally lit in my brain and I laughed my butt off. I thought it was hilarious.
