Bobby Knights comment on KState vs Baylor

[ripemupshocks]

It's amazing how K-State has gone from #1 in the Big 12 to #3 in the state of Kansas.

Heights is pretty awesome.

Heights girls team is pretty awesome. I guess that knocks Tractor Tec down to fifth.

Re: Bobby Knights comment on KState vs Baylor

"When I go home tonight I think I'm going to take a moment to quietly thank all the smart players that played for me. I cant say I have seen much of that here this evening." Bob Knight

OUCH! 8) :posterwu:

Close game

Classic Bobby, K-State gets the tip, goes down and misses three jumpers before Baylor gets the ball. Baylor goes down and scores inside and Bobby says "That's the first time I've seen anybody go inside tonight". I kid you not, 1 minute and 15 seconds had elapsed.

I'm trying to think, has Bob Knight ever color commentated a Shocker game? I just have to wonder how many of you would like him if he was calling our players (essentially) stupid, or critiquing our coach.

I wonder if the comment, essentially calling college athletes stupid, will cause him trouble. To compound the potential problem for him, he developed a "love affair" and went on and on about how smart the one white kid was. Seriously, the more he went on about Spradling, the more racist he sounded. Could be another Rush Limbaugh situation.

[pinstripers]

Was Spradling the only white player that he complimented?

[SubGod22]

Is Spradling a smart player? Who cares if Bobby would call out our players as having poor basketball IQ. We do it all the time.

Would not smart sound better to you? I've seen some pretty damn not smart plays from our players towards the end of games, and if he wanted to use a different adjective I don't think I'd throw a fit over it.

Stupid is as stupid does
and STUPID knows no color.

It's obvious those who dont't like Bobby on the TV are the same people who don't like Bobby the Coach.

Luv or Hate him the Man knows basketball,,,prolly has forgotten more about it then anyone on this board ever dreamed of knowing about it

Knowing the game does not make him any less of a JERK. It does not automatically make him a great color commentator either. I rooted for the 76 Hoosiers. I am much older and wiser now.

I admit I don't know much about the Xs and 0s but I always learn something and enjoy Knight's commentary. Didn't like him as a coach.
