January 25, 201313 yr It's embarrassing that ESPN drags him out there for commentary, you can tell dementia is setting in. Listening to him in the Ole Miss game tonight, he really sounds like my grandfather did when his mind started to go. It is sad.
January 25, 201313 yr Author He lost it about 30 years ago. I didn't write this to bash Bob Knight, regardless of what you thought of him as a coach his seniority is really showing now.

I've always respected Bob Knight for his coaching ability but I have to say...he's not making much sense lately.
January 25, 201313 yr Author I've always respected Bob Knight for his coaching ability but I have to say...he's not making much sense lately. Exactly my family is still going through Alzheimer's with my grandfather and it is sad to watch someone as their mind slip. And unless he was on something tonight his mind is going.
January 25, 201313 yr He has been harder to listen to, I thought something was wrong during the UK/Vandy game when he asked his PBP man what the other numbers stood for on the shot clock.
January 25, 201313 yr Bob Knight has always been a terrible commentator. Probably because he is such a jerk.
January 25, 201313 yr I didn't write this to bash Bob Knight, regardless of what you thought of him as a coach his seniority is really showing now. I don't listen to or watch him so I have no opinion of his abilities as a commentator. If he has issues I pray for him and his family. The man was a great coach, but just flat out crazy on and off the court.
January 25, 201313 yr As crazy as he is, I bet IU alumni would pay big bucks to hear him speak regardless of what he had to say.
January 25, 201313 yr As crazy as he is, I bet IU alumni would pay big bucks to hear him speak regardless of what he had to say. The older alums would. Not sure about the younger ones.
January 25, 201313 yr I'm with you HT. He can't seem to follow the flow and situation of the game. Last night he was talking about scenarios as if the score was tied but the truth was Ole Miss was ahead by 2. Same in Vandy-UK game. I think something is wrong. What, I don't know. (BTW, I loathe him and the "bully" mentality he has always had but I think something is truly wrong.)
