I love it. He's really great. And best of all, he doesn't compromise himself. He is who he is. Would anyone expect different? :laugh:

I like his point of view, but I wonder what his co-workers think about him. I respect Bobby Knight, but there is no doubt the guy is kind of an a@s, and I would think would be a difficult person to work with. I would hate to be a co-worker of his. If you interrupted him you might get your a@s kicked. Remember what he said to that reporter about interrupting him and not being as good as his dad?

I loved when they asked him about his thoughts on the Big Ten championship he said "I could care less" and the camera stayed on him for like 5 seconds expecting him to say more but he just looked around

That is hilarious, I wish I would have seen that. Love him or hate him he definitely has something interesting to say, or not say. :laugh:

I used to look for Texas Tech games on TV just to catch Bobby Knight in action. You never know what to expect with this guy, but it will always be entertaining. He's true to himself and you've got to respect that.
Anybody catch Dick Vitale going on and on about how stupid Indiana was for firing him and they should hire him back? Knight's face said it all... "shut up you f___ing moron"

Haha, that was priceless. At least he wasn't saying South Carolina. Besides, Knight had a look like "My pimp just turned on me!!"

Apparently some think that Knight would be perfect at South Carolina...I don't think there's a chance in hell of this happening and I'm not sure that I want it to. But can you imagine Spurrier and Knight at the same school...haha

Now that I think about it, how many questions on that "Knight's Insights" segment did he truly answer. All he seemed to do for the most part was beat around the bush and never answer the question. Maybe he should run for president. I'm sure he'd be hilarious in a debate.

He has fresh insight into the game. And he doesn't waste words or give you irrelevant info. He gets right down to it.

It is actually Jeremy Schaap. Here is a transcript of the interview.

I really like Joe Buck, but there are not many as good as his Dad.
