Knight is fucking hillarious - he is a true genuine American and doesn't care if he ruffles feathers. By his own admission - he said "I can't be everybody's best buddy - at my coaching level, I am hired to win basketball games." His winning record speaks for itself. He was a tough SOB, and demanded perfection from his players. What's so bad about that??
The Legendary Coach Bobby Knight is the true general. He says what is on his own with no regrets and arguably one of the greatest coaches of all time at any level in my opinion. Still to this day is the last coach to lead an undefeated team to the National Championship.
I had the pleasure to meet Bob Knight at a carnival in Lubbock TX, we talked for a very long time while his grandchild just kept going through this ride filled with mirrors, the guy is awesome, and I would have loved to play for him, we talked about everything and he is a pleasant person just not patient with what he considers silly questions, his best quote is what he said about journalist, that they are just one step up on the career ladder from prostitution, it this statement I'm trying to locate.
hahha the greatest coach of all time... the man knew what it took to win and he made sure he got all he could out of every player he ever coached... i have the utmost respect for bob knight... and if he wasnt a coach he'd make a damn good comedian
I'm a UNC fan and Bob Knight was so rfreshing to listen to rant and rave. I think he was a great coach who cared as much for his players as a coach possibly could. I like him as a coach and a person too. He is one of those people that can say something "his way" and it would be funny but he didnt do it to be funny; he was serious. I think he is awesome.
Even the other reporters knew the question was stupid. Coach gave him fair warning on the first question and then he asked the follow-up. Mess with the bull and got the horns. Love it. 🤣
for what people say about his temper, here's a couple things Bob Knight did anywhere: He never cheated, and he won games, which these days would make him a saint in basketball
I loved the whole show and presentation he goes through, obviously trying to make a sarcastic point about not being able to predict the future. Then the reporter's follow up question pretty much goes against the point Knight just tried to make! Knight rolls his eyes in an, "Oy!" fashion and goes for the jugular. Well played!
@suryavajra I believe there are many parallels between Knight and MacArthur. Both were brilliant "commanders" who mistakenly believed that because of their winning records and popularity with their "fan base," they were untouchable, bigger than the institution that employed them. As a result both openly defied -- almost dared -- their superiors, and their hubris got them both fired, deservedly.
@rbpinchman It's an inarguable fact that Knight was one of the best coaches of all time. If you think otherwise, you can't read or count cause stats don't lie. Whether you love him or hate him, he was a good coach. Period.
Not ONE of Bob Knight's players has ever had a bad word to say about the man. They LOVE him. Some of his tactics were questionable if true, but the men that he coached were better people and players because of he mentored them. If you ask me more coaches should be like Bob Knight.
People have down on Bobby Knight pretty hard over the years, but when you watch something like this you think, you know, the guy had a good point to just about everything.
@rbpinchman I agree Wooden was an incredible coach. However, if the bottom line is getting results, then Bobby Knight was extremely competent and certainly did lead by motivation..He just did it in a way that you can't handle. Maybe you had a loud Father or something. He motivated his players to over 900 wins, won National Coach of the Year FOUR times, Big Ten Coach of the Year SIX times, Olympic Gold medal winner, 3 NCAA Championships, 11 Big Ten Championships, and one chair toss.
I have to agree that the game had passed Bob Knight before he retired.Unfortunatley not many coachs demand acountability from his playes like he did,and make them go to class and stay out of trouble.I would rather my kid go play for someone like Knight anyday,than a coach like John Calipari.
The fact the guy asked him a second question along the same lines is hilarious
I don't know whether that guy is the cringe-dweeb of the universe, or my f_cking hero.
But Knight got the last laugh.
😂😂😂
Even the reporters are laughing....man, I miss those days.
Knight is fucking hillarious - he is a true genuine American and doesn't care if he ruffles feathers. By his own admission - he said "I can't be everybody's best buddy - at my coaching level, I am hired to win basketball games." His winning record speaks for itself.

He was a belligerent jerk. Acted like a fool. Very inappropriate for being in education.
@@hansgordyYou sound like a total snowflake who accepted many participation trophies in your day. 🤭
He wiped his ass then showed it to his players. 😂
@denislemieux7294 That’s too much
@@hansgordyyour just soft
Just imagine Bob Knight as a stand-up comedian!
Exactly lol greatest coach/ comedian ever
The Legendary Coach Bobby Knight is the true general. He says what is on his own with no regrets and arguably one of the greatest coaches of all time at any level in my opinion. Still to this day is the last coach to lead an undefeated team to the National Championship.
Classic Bob Knight right there
Bobby Knight genius head coach and part time stand up comedian.
Come on, this isn't even a Knight meltdown, he's just having some fun
Who the hell said that this was a meltdown?
Where does it say meltdown I checked the description too

The legend for the ages
God I wish Coach Knight was still coaching!!! Miss you buddy!!! And FYI... I'm from Kentucky 😊😊😊
His best interview of all! This was hard to find, I've told many people about this over the years.
Why I love Bobby Knight. Respond incompetently to incompetence.
Just a classic Bob, Ditka, Mora & Herm Edwards do I so miss them!!!
John Tortorella is still around, now he just landed the Philly gig with the Flyers!
Bob knight truly hated these "reporters". I don't blame him, they lie constantly or take what the people say out of context!
Erik Cregeen RMK knew what "fake news" meant even back then.
Democrats at their finest.

R.I.P. Bobby Knight.
RIP Mr Knight
A good crystal ball will set you back at least two grand,
That cheap goblet will give you dubious info at best.
LMAO!!!!
"I mean this a GodDamn cheap piece o' crystal here!"
Back when they censored G-d but not "damn"
When the interviewer asks where you see yourself in 5 years.
RIP Legend
This is classic Bob Knight! Long live the general.I miss seeing him on the sidelines
Sidelines???
29 people see Bailey being the playmaker for next year's team.
Bob Knight calling out the fake news before it was cool.
some of you folks are dead wrong......Coach Knight is the general!!!! The greatest College b ball coach ever!!!!
John Wooden. But nice try.
He's an ass and so are you
***** consider yourself first lol
Coach K
@george egermayer ...and a comedian!
It doesn't get much better than this
hahha the greatest coach of all time... the man knew what it took to win and he made sure he got all he could out of every player he ever coached... i have the utmost respect for bob knight... and if he wasnt a coach he'd make a damn good comedian

AND he graduated 98% of his players - which is still unprecedented even these days.
Bobby Knight has a Wicked Sense of Humor 😂
Even the other reporters knew the question was stupid. Coach gave him fair warning on the first question and then he asked the follow-up. Mess with the bull and got the horns. Love it. 🤣
The greatest coach/ comedian lol lmao
and only choked 10%
and only threw chairs with another 10% watching.
what a great guy/coach
for what people say about his temper, here's a couple things Bob Knight did anywhere: He never cheated, and he won games, which these days would make him a saint in basketball
LEGENDARY. ONE OF THE BEST EVER! THATWAS CLASSIC BOB KNIGHT! 😂😂😂
Personally, I miss him. 😠👍
God bless this man
I'm going with smart ass.
Kudos to both of them for contributing to such a funny clip.
Especially the last bit.
I remember seeing that it's still hilarious.
I always liked how the press would laugh and laugh when one of their own was dressed down by Knight.
Yeah! Give 'em hell, Bobby! Lol!
Bobby Knight was a national treasure. There is no other way to describe him.
The say he looked up at the reporter after he said what a shit question lol
His methods were harsh but his results spoke for themselves
the prototype of POP lol
I loved the whole show and presentation he goes through, obviously trying to make a sarcastic point about not being able to predict the future. Then the reporter's follow up question pretty much goes against the point Knight just tried to make! Knight rolls his eyes in an, "Oy!" fashion and goes for the jugular. Well played!
Bobby at his best lol. Always entertaining.
he's what you want a coach or dad to be
“It says....what a shit question”😂😂
“It says….What a shitty question.”
😂 Classic!
Legendary
@Calbenmike also won 3 national championships
that was just awesome
This shit is hilarious. Especially the end.
He might of been a tough SOB and sometimes you can hate him; but this is the best "FUCK YOU", without saying "FUCK YOU", from any coach.
Love it! You know good and well some of those reporters deliberately asked stupid stuff knowing they would get a comical response from Coach Knight!
friggin hilarious
sometimes I think the press got Knight spun up just to see what his reaction would be...lol
Wow! Bob was funny with this one!!
This is amazing 😂
Legendary Bobby knight
he never cheated, but he sure knew how to put his hands on a kids throat!
"I see Bailey being better.."
"Do you see him being a playmaker for next year's team?"
I laughed with everyone else, haha.
FaintAura the reporter is lucky Knight didn’t throw the glass at his head.
legend
@suryavajra I believe there are many parallels between Knight and MacArthur.

10-25-2009. Ain't it fine, ain't it fine, Bob Knight is 69. Happy Birthday, Coach.
The reporter kept going so IDK takes some stones going against Knight 😂
0:58 “Images” is code for “Players.”
@rbpinchman It's an inarguable fact that Knight was one of the best coaches of all time. If you think otherwise, you can't read or count cause stats don't lie. Whether you love him or hate him, he was a good coach. Period.
CLASSIC!
Monumental.😅
Love it!!!!!
Not ONE of Bob Knight's players has ever had a bad word to say about the man. They LOVE him. Some of his tactics were questionable if true, but the men that he coached were better people and players because of he mentored them. If you ask me more coaches should be like Bob Knight.
Lmfao
People have down on Bobby Knight pretty hard over the years, but when you watch something like this you think, you know, the guy had a good point to just about everything.
He might have been a hard ass , but he had a laugh out loud sense of humor ! 💥
Coach Knight can SEE everything!
Bro was a wizard and shit
18 people want to know if Bailey is going to be the playmaker on next year's team.
That wasn't a dumb question.... probably one of the greatest straight men questions of Knight's career.
While Knight is great, really the funniest line is the question asked by the reporter. And that's proven by the fact that is got the most laughs.
RIGHT ON !!
This guy makes Bobby Finstock look downright normal.
That's awesome
@rbpinchman I agree Wooden was an incredible coach. However, if the bottom line is getting results, then Bobby Knight was extremely competent and certainly did lead by motivation..He just did it in a way that you can't handle. Maybe you had a loud Father or something.

He is so funny.
This guy was fkn nuts but damn he was funny......this had me in tears damn lol!!!
lol...got to love bobby knight....funny shit!!!!
knight for president
Say what you will about Bobby Knight, but he ran a clean program at Indy - and his players had a graduation rate of 98% - unheard of these days.
I vote for him for President!
Attaway Bob.
This is Bob Knight at his best
I love the General...!
I have to agree that the game had passed Bob Knight before he retired.Unfortunatley not many coachs demand acountability from his playes like he did,and make them go to class and stay out of trouble.I would rather my kid go play for someone like Knight anyday,than a coach like John Calipari.
epic video
Don Vito
How in the world this video didn't make ESPN's bob Knight top 10 greatest moments???
He usually just gets on my nerves, but that was hilarious!
