couldn’t - my bad
Bobby Knight is an a**hole. He has always been an a**hole. He will always be an a**hole.
I only wish that Bobby Knight would have hit the ref with the chair. No permanent damage, mind you. Just enough to keep him from reffing that season.
Bobby Valentine - the ref in question, cost South Dakota State a national championship in Div 2 later on that year. The last minute was about as well refereed as the ‘72 Olympic Gold Medal game.
“Bobby Knight is an a**hole. He has always been an a**hole. He will always be an a**hole.”
Are you Neil Reed? ;)
Could be Luke Recker......
You have an opinion like anyone else, but you don't have to mention it thrice in one post unless you're an alien with 3 a$$holes.
Like Coach said at the time:
“There was an old lady on the other side of the court that needed a seat!”
In any event, JZelle asked if Knight could be a write in so I guess we have to determine whether he throws his hat in the ring. He's certainly available but the poof press would crucify him daily. He's probably the only person in America with higher negatives than Hildabeast.
Are you guys sure it wasn’t Ted Valentine?
They weren't.
Anyone could see that he was just another courageous but handicapped individual doing his best to participate in what life offered.
Unfortunately when it came time to review his contract Myles Brand (top honcho at Indiana University) took the coward's way out of a self-created dilemma and deliberately chose to ignore the provisions of the "The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)" and simply tossed this poor man on the street.
Myles went on to an otherwise undistinguished career as a bureaucrat at the NCAA. His wife is a professor of gender studies (just in case anyone imagines Myles has his own head. The guy undoubtedly lives a life of unrelenting Hell Fur Shur.)
Bobby went on to Texas Tech where they really are "kinder and gentler". The Indiana University English department went into hiding, with some members actually seeming to disappear from the face of the Earth. Their budget continues to shrink and eventually it may be possible for Indiana to once again hold its head high when it comes to basketball when they are free to hire another coach who knows his job.
I am just amazed that there are members on this spot who excoriate Bill Clinton for saying” I smoked marijuana but did not inhale”, but have the temerity to defend a worthless piece of pond scum like Bobby Knight who when asked about a rape of a woman on the Indiana Campus said” she should have just laid back and enjoyed it”
Well then, let’s switch sports. Tell me, when you go fishing do you always swallow it hook, line and sinker?
Yeah, it was Ted V. Books have been written about their relationship over the years.
Since Bobby’s remark wasn’t in regard to any rape on any campus, but rather the use of the old “”I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it” with respect to playing basketball (but, alas, unfortunately spoken in the presence of Connie Chung ~ whose husband was busy making the family living by interviewing sexual perverts and freaks), I’d suggest your comment was not only out of line but also a sure sign that you need to see a doctor about getting your ears clean or something.
Connie Chung’s reaction was priceless.
In comparing our posts to shaft, I have to admit you are more the instructor. You have a very good recall of events and present them well in a very credible and polite manner. Thank you.
