Some History on Bob Knight

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are two web articles....both written in 2006.....three years ago....which detail the storied and troubled history and track record of one Bob Knight:


This one uses satire to get the point across as to what Knight has gotten away with during his tenure as head coach of a college basketball program:


The Couch Slouch: Not all of Bob Knight's transgressions get reported


And here is one that simply lists the factual "incidents" which Knight has been involved with:


Bob Knight's outburst timeline - USA Today



Needless to say....this is one man who should NOT be an analyst, or in a position to be trying to use persuasive tactics to influence other's opinions, when he himself is a lightning rod and the poster boy for controversy and bad behavior.

Great post, Soldier. Thanks for the effort. Believe it or not, I actually remember most of those and at the time I thought they were really funny. Actually, I think they are still funny, I just don't like it when he goes off half cocked and misrepresents the facts to suit his own warped sense of fair play.
