February 28, 200818 yr 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:
February 28, 200818 yr Actually, considering RMK's penchant for contradiction, this probably shouldn't be seen as a surprise.
February 28, 200818 yr 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.
February 28, 200818 yr ESPN should be ashamed. Why hire the guy that has told the entire world that your guys know nothing about basketball?
February 29, 200818 yr 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.
February 29, 200818 yr 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.
February 29, 200818 yr 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.
February 29, 200818 yr 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.
February 29, 200818 yr 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.
