Such a dominating win over an awful team. Great coaching, must be!

Isn't it sad that Knight is still coaching only to get the record? I mean, why else would you go from Indiana to the smelly armpit of Lubbock, TX and Texas Tech? Shouldn't Bob have been coveted by every college team in the country after he got himself fired from the school that made him? Well?

Bob Knight is such an upstanding human being and amazing coach...why didn't every D1 team fire their current coach in 2000 and beg Knight to coach their team?

Yeah, Knight will get the record at TT. Were he not a complete asshole he would have gotten it at IU. But then, again Coach K will break it shortly thereafter. Will Knight come out of retirement then to try and regain it? Coaching at the University of Southern North Dakota State A&M, or somewhere like that?

Still here huh Mr. Anonymous? Wow! I'm honored that you would care so much about my ramblings that you would spend more than an hour here and post 4 times. I hope you are clicking on my ads.

If you actually watched that Tech game last night like I did with my family, you would have actually seen some really good coaching. But it is a lot easier to just throw words like asshole and smelly armpit at a pearson you've never met or a place you've never been to.

You show ignorance with your comments on this post

You are right on one thing... Coach K probably will someday become the all time winningest collegiate coach. And who was his biggest coaching influence? Yup... you know the answer.

Hey I know that answer. Bob Knight. Just in case Mr. Anonymous didn't.

I just don't understand the hatred these "true IU Fans" have towards one of the most brilliant minds to ever coach basketball... PERIOD! And their hatred of anyone that respects him.
