So you have no personal interactions and agree with only the part of your family that fits your personal narrative? Checking for a friend Tell “your friend,” that’s affirmative. Also, at my age 66, I’m certain I can spot a POS when I see one. See: Discernment. Ten-fo. |

One in PDX with Pete Newell and Jack Avina. He agreed with that quote. |

No amount of wins can justify the way he treated guys who played on teams he coached. He saw them as his players on his teams, makes it a lot easier to treat them like s%#t. I wouldn't want my sons to play for him.

Last coach to lead a men's basketball team through an entire season without a loss. The one before that was John Wooden, preceded by John wooden, then John Wooden, and, finally, John Wooden. The difference between the two as human beings was (k)night and day. |

A MONUMENTALLY egotistical and abusive ass hole, and all around POS. A winning basketball coach, though. 🥹 THAT’S the important thing, I guess. POS seems a little harsh. Um, are you all talking about this guy? “Is investigated by university after former player Neil Reed says Knight choked him at a practice in 1997. A videotape of the practice appears to support Reed. Reports surface of other confrontations. In one, Knight throws a vase at a university secretary. In another, Knight's son Tim suffered a dislocated shoulder and a broken nose during a scuffle with his father during a hunting trip. In another, Knight attacked and knocked out an Indiana sports information director in the '70s.” www.chron.com/sports/college-basketball-men/article/List-of-incidents-involving-Bob-Knight-1849372.phpPOS is not harsh at all, in fact it is too nice of a term for someone who abused his son, players, employees, women, strangers… this list goes on with this guy. |

I’m not a fan of the guy at all. He clearly had MASSIVE insecurities which he took out on others who he was in a position of authority over. His impressive W/L record doesn’t absolve him of those abuses. That said, POS (piece of sh!t) is a pretty dehumanizing description and, to my mind at least, Knight’s sins and weaknesses were all too human. The worst I can say of him was that despite being a successful coach and motivator to many, his reputation as a cowardly bully was well-earned. |
