What an incredible moment! Good for you Bobby. I threw a chair across my parking lot today to show my appreciation for you
LOL
Is that Right?
😂😂😂
Lol
Rest in peace to the greatest. Though I attended IU a couple of years later, proud to have watched the IU basketball in my lifetime. Great basketball school, good to know that he was a great mentor to many IU basketball alums.
Bobby's throwing chairs up in heaven now. Dear God, Please don't eject him. He was a great coach.
Probably not throwing anything in heaven, lol
Wish my Dad could have lived to see this, lost him 3 years ago, he loved Knight!
Steve, I am so sorry, I know this is late, but your father is looking down from heaven watching this clip and would be proud of you as well. GB.
Yep had to tape the games for my dad on the good ol VCR while he was at work.
I can't imagine your loss 😞 . My dad is getting up there in age and it scares me to death to think about it.
Sorry I'm late but keep on keeping ya head up. Pops would be proud
Hope he welcomed Coach today
Definitely had tears in my eyes
Was it onions you were cutting?
I'm fighting back tears watching this video and I don't understand why. We miss you Coach Knight.
Bob Knight is a coaching legend. He still got the fire
I'm a Purdue fan, but this brought tears to my eyes. Great Coach
If this was keady I'd do the same thing as an IU fan
Knight and Keady simply the best of times
Bobby Knight thank you for making Indiana basketball what it is. May you rest in peace. ❤
Mad Props to Gene Keady for being there, too. They had some phenomenal matchups over the years.
As a huge IU fan Gene Keady is a class act and demonstrates this here. Nothing but respect for him and Coach Painter as well.
Right on!!! Total class right there!!!
Coach Knight still has his fighting spirit. To hear Coach Knight yell “PLAY DEFENSE” means a lots.
When The General passes a HUGE part of my childhood and early young adult life will be gone. The dentist in our small town in Ohio ( Dr. Dan Thomas) played in summer leagues in and around Orville with Coach Knight and through him the love for Indiana basketball began at ten years old.
Even though I did not get to play for you Coach, the life lessons you taught and your quote “ If I don’t get on a player about getting better and he gets a job and can’t do it he’ll be fired” ALWAYS is my motivation at anything attempted in life, THANK YOU
tears, absolutely, but part emotion from the return and part from recognizing his health. I loved this happened for Coach and his players.
Growing up an IU & Coach Knight fan was one of the greatest things in my lifetime!!! Well miss Coach Knight. Rest in peace Bobby, you have won victory for the last time and OH what a time it was!!!! God Bless Coach Bobby Knight!!!
This is a great video! Coach Knight is what Indiana basketball is all about! I was just surfing TH-cam tonight, and decided to watch this! I’m so glad that he made it back to Assembly Hall! It’s so neat to see the genuine respect that he and the players have for one another! I think he really enjoyed coming back. Bloomington is definitely where he belongs. It’s great to see him back in the community! I heard he went to a women’s game this season as well. Hopefully he knows how welcome he is! I hope he chooses to come to some other games! Next season should be the 45th reunion of the 1976 team and I know he would want to be there for that! Coach Knight is a great guy that knows what it’s all about! He gave so much of his heart and energy to Indiana basketball!
Bob knight and isiah sheesh what great players and coaches we’ve had
I’m so glad that this moment happened-RIP to The General.
I was crying during this moment, and I am not an Indiana fan! Great Moment in Sports History here!!!
Rest in Peace Coach! I watched this live on tv and I teared up big time. He finally came home and he was welcomed with open arms. Such a powerful moment.
IU vs Purdue will never be the same without the General and the Bulldog! It was great seeing Keady there. The respect for Bobby was very much deserved.
I grew up watching big10 midwest sports and seeing this brought tears to my eyes. I played football for a coach that was compared to woody hays and bob knight but when I got older and realized the message, besides my father, my coach has gave me so much to think about situations. RIP Coach KNIGHT and Coach Leo “SMOKEY” BOYD
Welcome back, coach. Assembly Hall is where you belong.
that floor needs to be named for him too
nintendonerdsvideos I agree. I’ve respected Coach Knight for many years.
@@nintendonerdsvideos4727 They will never replace Branch McCracken court. Remember that he did lead IU to the first two championships.
I am a life long Hoosier & I was at this game . I will never forget what coach has done for Hoosiers & IU ! Glad Gene Keady was present as both of them ran CLEAN programs . He wasn’t perfect, but for every bad thing you can say I can name twice as many good . Family!!!!!
Uh...Coach Gene Keady never reached a Final Four but like Coach Knight had a clean 🏀 program !
Always thought Knight and Keady respected each other !!
Main Man yes he did in 1980
@@wizkiddomik6140 Think Purdue coach was Lee Rose in 1980...?
Even at the end. He never lost his passion and awareness of who he was as a competitor and as a coach. Absolutely amazing.
R.I.P. Coach Knight. You're greatness will be always remembered.
Rest in Peace. As a Hoosier who was at IU in the late 90s, I will always have respect for him and those happier days.
Great day in Indiana history right here
88 baby, but always understood the greatness of this man. TT was able to have them, so I was able to witness his greatness, but we will always remember you for IU. Rest well, General!
I miss this man so much the original coach k bobby is true legend
3:59: Still got the fire and voice despite being in poor health👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
My uncle was at this game. He was 88 years old, lived in rural Monroe County most of his life, and had said for years that he hoped to live long enough to see Coach Knight come back to Indiana. He passed in his sleep about 2 months later and the last time I saw him was the day after Coach came back. He was SO happy that day and I know he died a happy man, as his last big wish was to see Bobby Knight come back. RIP Coach Knight and Uncle Ed.
I lost my Dad in at the end of 2017. I am sad he never got to see it. He would have been thrilled. I am so glad your Dad did get to see it.
Respect for the man that built men
Aka touched kids😂🎉
Coach knight rules for life
Seeing him just gives me chills. The mystique!
Wow. Great to finally see
The man the myth the legend!
What can be said here, not much, one of the greatest coachs ever!!!!!!!!!!
Seein how much his players love him is awesome
No doubt Coach Knight knew he only had a few years left. I'm thankful for all of the efforts of the old players and coaches to get him back to AH. His passing would sting a little more had this return never happened. RIP Coach.
Purdue 74 at Indiana 62 F
(Mark Cuban is IU graduate)
Coach Bob Knight won NCAA titles in 1976 and 1981 and 1987 🏀
Makes me want to cry. We should of been able to get him there more. Our program needs to change for him.
Goated
Bob Knight is a legend.
Damn.
No words
Goosebumps
Watched alot of basketball ❤❤
GOAT!
Uh...Coach John Wooden of UCLA greatest 🏀 ever !!
Main Man nope
There have been great coaches and then there was Bobby Knight. Don't think I can think of any American sport that a coach loomed larger than this guy. Legend.
knight is a legend
Purdue 72 at Indiana 63 F
(February 23 1985)
Infamous chair toss by IU Coach Bob Knight 😬
Coached my brother Richard in 1970 Army's best team under Coach Knight. Beat Lsu for 3rd place in the nit tournament.
Not a Basketball fan but coach knight is my all time coach in pros or collage any sport
RIP to a Legend
Say what you want great coach.
I love The General.
IU needs to get off their duff and rename assembly hall. Just sayin...........do it before coach is gone. Show him thed respect he deserves...
Don Ireland Well Deserved and so True!
The court not the building. The building was paid for by the Simon-Skodjt family.
@@darko2407 yep, whatever works
You are absolutley right Don. Name something significant after Knight.
Name the court in Assembly Hall after Coach Knight.
They cut the part where he tried to beat up Dickie V.
Don’t mind me, just a grown man getting a little emotional. Bob Knight fan always
RIP Bobby knight you will be missed
RIFF RAFF BROUGHT ME HERE
Sadly today he passed away at age 83. RIP Bobby. 💔
Same here.
r.i.p legend
man I'm so glad this happened. Knight seemed so bitter at IU after all that happened. i'm not even an IU fan
Where was Steve Alford must have
felt like Dan Dakich.
RIP Coach...the best there ever was...
Indiana basketball is the strongest family
You’ll ever find.
This had the same feeling like Woody Hayes dotting the i at one Ohio State football game.
It would have been great if they handed him a Mic, and the the first thing he said was "anybody got a chair?"
That would have been so hilarious if he would have said that in the mic 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
GREAT coaches will be remembered for many things, but always put their player grades first. They wanted them to graduate with good grades. I remember when Coach Knight threw the chair, even tho he will be remembered for that, his MAIN memories will be the teams he coached. Just like Bill Snyder and Tom Osborne, they will never be forgotten for what they have done for the young men that played for them.
RIP General!
seeing Gene Keady there was AWESOME too
RIP BOBBY KINGHT
RIP Legend
It was an incredible moment that I never thought would happen. How can this team or coaching staff not be motivated enough or fired up enough to beat the crap out of Purdue on this day!???? Where is the toughness?? How can you not have shooters?? How can you as a TEAM not make free throws????
1:34 even Mark Cuban is there oh my gosh
Was that sage steele sitting with him?
RIP Bobby
Cranky, cantankerous, demanding, doing things the right way. He demanded excellence not only as a basketball player, but as a human being. RIP General.
They don’t come anymore Old School than Bobby Knight. He won. He didn’t cheat. They went to class. They graduated. And God damn it they played defense!
Here for you tonight coach!As a fan im so proud your standing with our god now! all the love .... R.I.P. legend!
Who is next to him? Mr. Buckner and Mr. Woodson. Hopefully Coach Woodson can bring some of the energy from this night. And also what Knight made the crowd yell, “DEFENSE”.
It's ironic that he shows up when Indy is losing to Purdue
Well, he was sick and tired of that, and 8-10 records.
@@onlyone23km You watched that documentary too?
@@bradyrhodess yes, actually!
@@onlyone23km Yes, now that you mentioned it!!!
RIP Coach Knight
Man Sage Steele is such a beautiful lady. Steal my heart for a moment. ❤️
Sage Steele is a self hating sellout. Next :)
@@gaddiemediaguy Why? Cause she doesn’t think like you?
Weak man.
Bobby Knight best 1 of best ever college coach. U want your son play 4. U mike not like him but u respect him
Gene Keady at 4:13 cracks me up.....
I cried the whole time
The General
RIP Coach
IU b-ball is nothing without him
RIP KNIGHT
The greatest coach of all time in any sport. A real man.
A real bully
@@JElias-po6zu A winner. A Champion. A Coach. A man.
@@U2BEMatchmakerwas still a Bully though with anger issues...
RIP coach
greatest college coach ever....didnt need a Sam Gilbert
Leader of men. Never perfect, but none of us is. But I can say as a 43 year old Black man, Coach Knight is PRECISELY the kind of man I would want coaching/teaching/leading my now 17 year old son whose got D-1 interest right now. I would be secure knowing he'd show him not just what it takes to be a better ballplayer, but a better man. He deserved this moment.
PLAY DEFENSE!!!!! R.I.P COACH KNIGHT!!!
It was a shame that not more players showed up. He coached thousands and a couple dozen came back. Assembly hall should have been filled with former guys
They should have given him a chair ... would have been fun to see how far he could still throw it.
Throw chairs to celebrate the moment
They should have given him a chair to throw 😂😂😂… love ya coach.. RIP!!!
He reminds me of my first grade teacher who would bring a giant ruler to class and would hit bad students who refused to do their homework to tears. The method was questionable but the intent was honorable. RIP Coach Knight and Ms. Woo.
