That actually wasn't a reporter it was a NCAA tournament volunteer worker. You always here when you watch coaching press conferences in March down on the left, right here in front it was that guy.
From this point forward I will not only celebrate my birthday, but now celebrate the life of one of the best college basketball coaches ever. R.I.P Bob Knight.
3 days ago, we lost a legendary college basketball coach from the '60s to the 2000s. May Bob Knight rest in peace and to the universities who had Bob Knight as a coach in college basketball, please pray for his condolences. :'(
Bobby your hard nose no nonsense style of coaching will for ever live in the hearts of the players who loved the game as much as you did. Thank you for everything that you were and everything once you gave to the kids!
god i love this man. His greatest failure was not being able to judge a kids backbone. Was easy in the 70s, 80s even... then came people like Lawrence Funderburke....rest was history. I hope to god he knows how many fans he still has in the State of Indiana! Go Hoosiers
Yeah man, Knight was the anti-entitlement King. This UK fan really appreciated Coach Knight. IU Basketball has never been the same since he left. For all the Funderburks and Neil Reeds, there were PLENTY more former players who loved the man. That says something.
interesting how john brannen had abuse allegations and his coaching reflects a lot of bobby knight’s, yet it’s so easy to dislike him while knight ( even though he chocked one of his players)is still often respected and viewed as a legend in the basketball world just because his career ended with success
Bob Knight was Bob Knight, Win, Lose, or after practice. His Legacy, one of the Greatest Coaches in the History of Sport, Pro, College, or otherwise will live on. Many of the people who had the privilege to work with him, or be coached by him will share his influence with them for generations to come. Rest in Peace Coach Knight.
@@HelloThere-jr6gd there’s a difference between being intense and being a straight piece of shit. Some good examples being Herb Brooks and Greg Popovich
@@jcsalty457 no...a piece of shit....who beat his players and tortured them mentally...all talk and no fight...big temper my ass, just for the cameras....and if your under 40 don't talk to me cause u didn't watch and see
Met him on a plane and he was about as nice a guy that you could talk with coming back from a fishing trip in Montana! I bet 95% of his players would say the same about him..
Thanks for the reply! For the most part Indiana still loves that coach and what he did for IU! He is never coming back so I hope coach Miller can move us forward!!
Even though he may have been very volatile a lot of the time, and did both say and do things which crossed the line, whether you agreed with his methods or not, you do gotta love the fact that Coach Knight did at least have a good sense of humor to go with it! That of which was something that many coaches such as him didn't have to go with their hard nosed demeanors, and was what also made his interviews, and press conferences a great show in themselves also!
I moved to Indiana as an eighth grader in 1984, and immediately became emerged into Indiana basketball which I supported and enjoyed, I've had a lot of respect in certain areas in regards to coach night I will say one thing based off the way I was raised and my over two decades of service in the United States military airborne community. And that is Bobby Knight always talked about respect he always talked about discipline but he was one of the most ill disciplined and disrespectful people I've ever seen and how he treated others that asked him questions he didn't like being asked or didn't agree with him. I've never met the man in person like millions I've only seen him on TV coaching the game of basketball and I've only seen him in interviews and post game interviews, many of which he was completely obnoxious and rude to stereotypically small community reporters who are just there to cover the game. I know many people older people than me in Indiana who still believe Bobby Knight is basketball Almighty, watching Bobby Knight's rants can be somewhat entertaining but again I go back to my original and main thought which is Bobby Knight completely fails himself as a person in regards to being respectful and having discipline.
Respectfully disagree..he was put upon by legions of ignorant individuals mostly half pissed jealous journalists following orders who treated him with no respect...if you can't take it don't dish it out
@@46tmb then we will definitely have to disagree. But that is one thing I really enjoy about sports, it allows people to have completely different opinions and engage in debate, have a good day.
@@dannycorsaro546 no I've watched enough of his live post game interviews growing up to realize that the vast majority of sports reporters were just simply trying to do their job and for some reason that I have not been able to understand he particularly took joy in trying to humiliate and belittle Small Town sports reporters from local communities coach Knight at every step of his adult life preached respect for elders and authority respect for oneself discipline all things that he advocated that others follow but he himself never did. At every step of his career he was disrespectful to the administration of IU the administration of the NCAA and the administration of some opposing universities he was rude and obnoxious to reporters to fans to alumni that's not to say that he was always at fault because he was not personally there's part of me that agrees with the type of practices and the discipline that he tried to instill in the athletes but overall he had some deep psychological issues. And as time went by really starting in the late 1980s and just blew up throughout the 90s and early 2000s is Bobby Knight's legacy and fame grew in his head more than it did in real life he started believing a lot of the hype about him
@@skysoldier1127 I respect your take on it,myself I enjoyed every minute of watching reporters being put in their place! In fact reporters have only gotten worse! Now I don’t watch sports at all or their bullshit news media!
I would like to be a fly on the wall during a press conference where both Bob Knight and John Tortorella are in the same room. Two legendary coaches that don't take shit from no one.
“You got a long way to go to be as good as your dad, you better keep that in mind” ... “Tell me, what’s an unnamed source” ... “The greatest travesty I’ve ever seen in basketball in 33 years as a college head coach” ... CLASSIC
True. You get a reputation and it's hard to fight. people will believe what they want to believe. Just like your rival team in sports,if there's a rape or some criminal type of allegation on an individual, we will much more likely tend to believe it than your own school, or team. people should be careful in what they post in those type of situations.
Like what? He was honest, he told it how it was, and he didn't take anyone's shit... Just curious but what because the media as well as these people posting videos would make you believe Knight was only about telling off the media and throwing a chair... I ask because I come from Seattle... I truthfully didn't become interested in Bobby Knight until the the show Parks and Rec was introduced to me a few years ago... I got to learn a little about how Indiana is basketball country and the main character Ron Swanson does several throwbacks to Bobby Knight throughout its run...
A great American. A great human. But he definitely had some flaws. At least he admitted his shortcomings. And he will be admitted into heaven. That's the most important thing.
A lot of people fail to realize that Texas Tech had Bob Knight AND Mike Leach both employed simultaneously, for almost all of the '00's. What a time to be a Red Raider journalist.
Love when he said "You've got a long way to go to be as good as your dad was".
He shut that reporter right up. 😂
RIP Bobby Knight, you were an inspiration!
This man used to crack me up.🤣 Most entertaining coach ever!
My favorite sound bit of this video was when Bob was telling off that reporter and then his classic line..."Now back to the game"😂😂😂
That actually wasn't a reporter it was a NCAA tournament volunteer worker. You always here when you watch coaching press conferences in March down on the left, right here in front it was that guy.
@@patrickgray5633 I got you lol
So what happened? The guy heard that the coach wasn’t going to be?
@@brad3 that guy was told Bob wasnt gonna be there so he never went back to get Bob, who had been waiting for 30 minutes.
The Mickey Mouse quote killed me, when I first heard it.
Everyone has an uncle like this. That’s why everyone loved him
Rest In Peace sir and thank you for all your hard work
He told that reporter: "You have a long ways to go to be as good as your Father!"
1:45 “You’ve got a long way to go to be as good as your Dad” lol that killed me
In all honesty, he wasn’t wrong and still isn’t wrong either.

The fact that Coach Knight has spoke his mind was one thing that earned him my utmost respect.
I don't always agree with the opinion or conduct, but you're right, respect people who speak their minds, it's honest and passionate
Then you would like Trump. Knight was a bully and ego manic.
He was from the perfect time to be that type of coach ...RIP to the legendary Coach Knight
I can respect a man that says what he means, even if it hurts my ears occasionally .
R.I.P.-B.K.
From this point forward I will not only celebrate my birthday, but now celebrate the life of one of the best college basketball coaches ever.
R.I.P Bob Knight.
We are the silent majority.
Thanks, Coach Knight!

Best one was “You’ve got a long way to go to be as good as your dad.”
Like him or not, you can't argue that he got results and Championships. Great Coach.
Great coaches don't strangle players. Go watch Varsity Blues and realize that winning doesn't make you a good coach.
@@GrouchyKrauthe didn’t strangle anybody. He just was old school and took things too far. He did fine at Texas Tech.

"65% are having extramarital affairs with sheep. Is that an unnamed source?"
Wow some original
LOL😅😄😃😂🤣
Indiana hasn't been the same since.....
Yup Kelvin Sampson the crook that is destroyed it. They whiffed on Crean & I'm starting to think Archie Miller.
Chad Larimore You are correct
Good. He was a piece of shit.
Only people that think he was a piece,of,shit are little bitches that cant handle the intensity it takes to win in high level athletics.

while he was a dick in many ways, you’re 💯 right. We need more of them instead of bullshitters

Need more men like him. RIP Bobby.
You were loved dearly and are an all time State of Indiana legend

coaches aren't coaches to be your buddy. They are there to make you best you can be. If you don't get that then you aren't and athlete!
he produced good guys who had good lives. and he was a big contributor to why they had good lives and were productive members of society.
