Wireman Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Isn't it ironic, don't ya think... http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=3269476 What was that that Coach Knight once said about the media? :sssh:
Jim Schue Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Actually, considering RMK's penchant for contradiction, this probably shouldn't be seen as a surprise.
Hatz Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 He actually worked a few Final Fours for CBS Radio back in the 80's. He was color to Cawood Ledford's play by play. Ledford mentioned that the time they worked together Knight was one of the most prepared announcer he worked with. He actually studied and brought a suitcase with data in it. Ledford remarked that most coaches and athletes he worked with woud open their briefcase and all it had was a sandwich. :lol: I have no love at all for Knight and thought he was a megalomaniac when interviewing him. If he didn't like you he didn't have time for you. It would be interesting if he got the same treatment.
cshs81 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 ESPN should be ashamed. Why hire the guy that has told the entire world that your guys know nothing about basketball?
JBCousins Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 ESPN should be ashamed. Why hire the guy that has told the entire world that your guys know nothing about basketball? Ashamed? It's brilliant! I can't wait! What? They're not allowed to hire someone that disagrees with their guys? Isn't that what you want is some disagreements and debate on the set? I think he'll be good AND entertaining.
Pat Dad Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 So, will ESPN glue their chairs to the floor now?
JBCousins Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 So, will ESPN glue their chairs to the floor now? I hope not...maybe he'll throw one at Chris Berman...

No. You and I might disagree but I don't say that you're stupid and lack intelligence. Bob Knight does the latter.

cshs81 Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 IMO as long as the "talent" can speak English and knows that a basket is worth two points, the viewers will be there come tourney time.
Jim Schue Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 I don't know why this is any different than having Parcells on their Sunday NFL pre-game. The Tuna was well known for browbeating reporters.
JBCousins Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 IMO as long as the "talent" can speak English and knows that a basket is worth two points, the viewers will be there come tourney time. Very true, it doesn't REALLY matter who is on the set but it's bound to be entertaining.
