- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- The original Robert Abbott CNN report in March 2000 and the follow up. Published the same day as ESPN aired the 30 for 30, The Last Days of Knight and coincidentally, what would have been Neil Reed's 43rd birthday (29 Nov. 2018).
RIP Neil Reed.
And RIP Jason Collier
freewillobjector They never failed him at all.
I know we say that only women can be sexually assaulted however males can get assaulted too and Bob Knight violated Reeds privacy by choking him.
@@Mrcharles. huh??
@Walter Fox. You seem confused.
He was a bully and decided not to change!
He was 100% at fault and he was a huge problem. The poor kids who were subject to his disgusting behavior were let down by the school officials who were supposed to protect them.
Coaching the Red Raiders was a different story.
There’s a better documentary nowadays on ESPN 30x30 (The Last Days of Knight) that WILL give a better idea of the environment and why he was forced to take it. Even the university president was bullied by Bobby Knight… over 40 players left the program with 6 All-American leaving in 2 years triggered the report. The believe was that players’ mentality was changing and they “couldn’t take old school though coaching.” However, the outcome was different when it prove that Coach Knight was bullying everyone around him.
The means never justify the actions.
Unless you're a liberal Democrat.
When you win! Everyone loves you. But when you lose. Everyone hates you! Plain and simple. Young men need discipline and direction. But don't need abuse. Bobby brought alot of money to I.U. So maybe they over looked his abuse. They waited 29 years before they said a word. Bobby thought he was a King. He was! But they let that happen. I blame the school for not reeling him in earlier. Ego and Narrisium create a very bad combination. Bobby Knights Father died early in Bobby life. Maybe this is what happens when a Father isn't there to keep their son in check. No excuse's for Bobby. He made his bed. Now he has to lie in it. Shawn
Shawn Beck. Learn to spell or don't use words. "NARCISSISM".
They should have realized there was a problem when Larry Bird left the program in 1977.
"They let that happen!" Youre really going to go that route? Good god , you are fucking stupid.
Larry Bird left Bloomington in 1974. I think it was after 21 days he decided to leave and hitchiked home because he felt out of place and out of his element. Also he felt it just wasn't going to work out. Thank Indiana State coach Bill Hodges for not giving up on persuading Larry Bird to give college a second shot. Otherwise, we might never have heard of Larry Joe Bird at all.
We didn't worship Knight in Indiana. Half the people couldn't stand him.
Ohhh I see. This explains it. You’re a Purdue guy 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. That explains your views. Knight wasn’t worshipped in Indiana but AT Indiana. Class dismissed.
You're very right. Oh, there were a few who probably loved this guy. Most people in Indiana are astute enough to separate winning basketball games from the question of character. A good coach simply doesn't do the things he did.
I don’t worship Indiana because of Knight.
“A good coach doesn’t do the things he did”-said fan of Purdue and no coach ever.
I don’t worship Indiana either because they fired Knight. Fuck Indiana.
Dean Smith > Bobby Knight
Coach Knight was an outstanding basketball coach and an undeniably affective teacher/motivator. He ran a clean program and graduated his players. It’s also very clear to anyone who is objective enough to see, that he was and could be very prideful, egotistical, vindictive, bullish and uncontrollably temperamental. The University of Indiana and even the state allowed this man too much power and influence to the point where he was no longer accountable for his actions, until the Neil Reed Incident came to light.
He was a terrible coach. Good coaches don't mistreat players....and it's called Indiana University.
Bob Knight I ain't suck at all!!!!!!
😡
It’s Indiana University, genius.
@@originnone A bad coach ran a clean program 3 National Titles 900+ wins. If you don't like him as a person thats ok but to say he's a bad coach is redicious.
It depends on your criteria for what's termed a "good coach." My definition is one which includes providing a learning environment in which the players grow through respect into people who will show that same respect for others. Yours obviously only relates to wins. I call that a "coach with lots of wins." I believe that by any standard, a good coach is one who does not embarrass himself or his players. On that point, I would think even you, a person who calls peoples' comments "ridiculous" despite the criteria being generally accepted would agree to that. Perhaps not....
I’m amazed Michael Lewis has a coaching job these days after just absolutely lying about what happened to Neil Reed. What a jerk. He knew that there was bad behavior by Knight and turned a blind eye to it.
I'm not. He would've been blackballed. Whistle blowers get the shaft.
There is a clip of him yelling at Coach Knight & Charlie Miller thank God stepped in between them by the bench.
You know Neil Reed his dad was fired for abuse to his hoops kids where he coached. Just like Knight I feel for Neil Reed but not his dad can't kill Knight for doing that to your kid when your doing it to other kids.
Since Knight was fired from Indiana there was been no kids reported as mistreated....but there has been 5 coaches at Indiana, an investigation, recruitment violations, university banishment from NCAA tournaments, kids not graduating, ZERO national championships, and a complete downward spiral of what was once a very proud tradition and way of life. But...no kids have been “mistreated”. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤷🏼♂️
The struggles of IU basketball after Knight don’t justify his abusive behavior. Furthermore, there are plenty of very successful and clean coaches who aren’t abusive.
But, none quite like him. Big Ten championships, NIT championships, NCAA championships, Pan Am gold medal, Olympic gold medal, the last men’s team to ever go undefeated, the motion offense, the man to man defense, the desire for the perfect game, graduating players, running clean programs, not violating NCAA rules, not cheating. During the Cold War era, in sports, Bob Knight was the embodiment of the American dream and the most feared and respected by the Soviets. He was colorful, tenacious, intelligent, and loved the game. Nationally, you didn’t even have to be a fan of basketball to know the name Bob Knight. Knight literally changed the game, that’s a fact. A fact that many coaches and journalists have maintained. Knight created a culture in Indiana that probably no coach in the history of sports have created in a state and unless you lived in Indiana you wouldn’t have the slightest clue as to what that means or what I’m talking about. People like Knight come around once in a lifetime, as it goes. Knight never changed. He was true to his principles to the bitter end. He couldn’t be bought or silenced or broken. He was Bobby Knight. Yes there have been other successful coaches but none quite like him. In light of all the people, including Kareem Abdul Jabbar, that have come forward to expose all the cheating, corruption and the absolute heinous cultural at UCLA under John Wooden’s watch one would or should be appalled and shocked. But, no, he was a nice guy. It didn’t matter he had lost control of his program and turned his cheeck to sharks and wolves in sheeps clothing-So long as he won. Call me crazy, but I’d rather my son be grabbed by the neck (not choked mind you, there’s a difference) in practice and graduate college than be given a handout and exposed to the corruption at UCLA, and other so-called great institutions in sports. Knight, above all else, was a teacher. One that couldn’t be compromised. Good day.
I have no respect for Indiana
I don’t either after they fired Bob Knight. Fuck Indiana
Yea him being a winner does not justify him being abusive.
th-cam.com/video/uMVmhI1SUq0/w-d-xo.html this is his speech
Knight should have been shitcanned after the Puerto Rico nonsense.
If that hpd today he would have been gone before the plane landed.
And oh yeah, a tape surfaced showing knight choking Reed.
Knight is target he's not the only one to put his hands on players no matter what Curry Kirkpatrick wrote. Knight came up where guys were made to be tougher society is now soft. Is Knight perfect no but Knight was a target where you know other coaches were doing things. I'll also say this Mrs Reed when you sign to play for a guy like Bob Knight your gonna be yelled at cursed at grabbed & told to move your ass in that position. You have to know what your getting into period.
Yeah, you don’t put your hands on someone’s son. You do that to my son and I’ll put you in the ground.
Honestly that locker room speech makes me want to go play for Coach Knight.
It’s honestly what a lot of sports teams need nowadays. Of course not everything Knight did was acceptable, but I didn’t find that locker room speech to be all that bad, there’s only a few ways to motivate a group of players
@@johnselwitz5362 Every once in awhile as a player, you need a good kick in the ass to make you better.
I can remember reciting that quote in 1993 after my fantasy hoops team had a 4-7 record. I yelled, “I’m sick and f***ing tired of a 4 and 7 record! I’m f***ing tired of losing to Milton (a HS in PA that my HS played against and lost to constantly in the mid 80s)!”
@@therealsportsjunkieofflori6705 ~ That about size up the whole situation. Fantasy football isn't the real thing. You're not playing; you're not coaching; you're not recruiting actual players, real people; you're not on a struggling team with a frustrated coach. So, you can play the part, replay the rant, mouth the script. I tried to say this to my nephew who has been a fantasy-football "coach" and Monday morning quarterback for years but who has never played organized sports.
@@ShunyamNiketana It’s like when one of my colleagues at my workplace (we were both involved with our Fantasy Hoops League at work) who was a Temple alum sent me an email the morning after John Chaney’s tirade in 1994 saying “Next time I see you, I’m gonna kick your a**! You remember that!” As co-commissioner of the league, when I published the scores, I added a blurb stating the league may suspend, fine, and/or surcharge [the sender of that email] for his post-game outburst! He channeled John Chaney the way I channeled Bob Knight.
Knight has no idea what motivation means. Denials. Him not showing up to see the tape proves he knew deep down he choked the kid. The soul never lies. It’s a shame him and coaches like him destroyed their short time in life to play the game they loved.
you have no idea what busting your ass and working your ass off to get what you want in life. You expect shit to just be set in your lap. Thats what's wrong with this country. Too many pussies, like you, who won't work hard, just expect shit to be handed to them and have the bar lowered for them to succeed.
Dude took a team and went undefeated 2 years in a row in the regular season and won a national championship. In fact his team was the last team to ever go undefeated and win a National Championship. So he knew how to motivate, you probably just went to Purdue or watched your school get beat by his teams.
I think that entire incident shows the decline of kids who had to fight tooth and nail to compete. The soft underbelly of society in general is in full display from pee wee football, soccer, etcetera. Everyone wins for participating, who cares who won, we had fun. That isn't how the world works at all. That sets up a non-competitive atmosphere at 6 years old. I never seen one report that Coach Knight ever forced anyone to play for him...who and how he is was known by the kids who accepted a free education, and worked their asses off in the classroom and on the basketball court. On a lower level comparatively, is running bleachers for making mistakes in practice abuse? That's far worse in the 95 degree afternoon practices for athletes who play their sport outside. In essence, that's cruel and potentially life threatening...but, the coach was punishing/motivating that kid. We sadly have high school, college, and professional athletes that perish from heat related issues every year. Has anyone ever seen a reported death from being grabbed by a coach? The kids IU lost from "not being able to take the abuse" knew what they were getting into before accepting the free education and playing for him. Coach Knight, if anything...was guilty of not seeing the lack of toughness and character of the "athletes" who cried their way out of their scholarships. Neil Reed, RIP...however, his verbal account and what the tape showed did not match. Nobody stepped in and broke the incident up, the tape shows that as a fabrication by Reed. Maybe the lesson here is what my coaches used to tell our teams, "if you're not tough enough to play in the yard with the big dogs, best just keep your ass on the porch."
Thank goodness, someone who is sane. Definitely agree with you! Watching these videos and reading comments in preparation for Bobby Knight to return to Assembly Hall tomorrow... It's going to be chaos.
@@courtneymerkelbargo1452 I concur...it's nice knowing another sane person exists! Have you ever been to games back in the day at Assembly Hall? (Even setting high up in the arena, there was no doubt who was in charge, and respected).
@@rickywarner7444 I'm just a young kid! I'm a student at IU now, wishing for a toughness in players and coaches from an era way before my generation.
@@courtneymerkelbargo1452 Courtney, I wish you the best of luck with your education. I live in Texas now, but will be in Bloomington in spirit and thoughts. I hope you have tickets, and can witness this event/frenzied atmosphere in person. IU forever!
@@rickywarner7444 I'm very lucky to have tickets for tomorrow's game. Thanks for your kind replies and hope you have a good night! As always, go Hoosiers!
11:40 Accidentally my ass..
That locker room speech at 7:04 sounded similar to when I managed a HS boys team and coach told me to “go get the baby bottles!”
I can just see Knight then yelling, “CHRIST ALMIGHTY THAT PISSED ME OFF!”
That story about Knight coming out of the bathroom with his pants down to his ankles and then wiping himself and telling the team, this is how you're playing, was epic! :D
Someone should have pushed him over
while he had his pants around his ankles.
I thought the rant was from 1986 or so, not 1991.
The ironic part of this story is Neil’s dad was fired from a rival high school for hitting players...
Wow!
There is *ZERO* evidence of Coach TERRY REED ever striking ANY basketball player.
Terry Reed's college coaching stops included stints at University of Southern Mississippi, Iowa State University, University of New Orleans, Indiana State University, Henderson State University and Eastern Oklahoma State College. Reed also was a highly-regarded basketball clinician, and served as an offensive consultant to then-coach Tim Floyd at the University of Southern California. *After retiring from formal coaching, Reed provided private instruction to a number of young basketball players in Central Arkansas.* He has had the privilege of mentoring some talented young men in his lifetime.
In 1970, Reed led the Ouachita Baptist University Tigers to the championship of the Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference, earning both first-team All-Conference honors and named an NAIA All American.
Reed graduated with a degree in history and physical education in 1973, and then launched his coaching career as head coach at Cutter Morning Star. *He coached varsity basketball programs in Arkansas, Louisiana, Illinois and Indiana. In his seventeen years as a high school coach, Reed compiled a record of 237-157 and earned state-wide Coach of the Year honors four times.*
SooperFlye it was while south spencer high school....once that happened they moved back to Louisiana... While Neil was a freshman....nothing reported...they hid it so he could continue his coaching career....
@@TerryWilsonModels Hid it from EVERYONE except you, huh? Can-one-say-BULLSHIT?
SooperFlye not just me dude....anyone in southern Indiana is well aware of what happened.....believe what you want...just saying what happened
A young Kurt Warner My Favorite Ram of all time. Bob Knight is the GOAT
Another cautionary tale illustrating the fatality of hubris.
This is what happens when you get a bunch of pampered gifted players meet discipline. They know nothing but praise and Coach Knight is the master of TEAM . Play within my system or don't play. Be fair and present the other side.....the players that played for him four years and love him . They far outweigh these baby's that are still sucking breast milk. Ask Coach K
Ah, bullshit!
RIP Nell Reid, Knight was wrong but Reids dad & mom I don't want to hear them speak #1 Terry Reid coached high school hoops & was fired for things similar to why Knight was fired by IU. #2 Mrs Reid your son was 19 years old entering college hoops. He knew what life around Knight was gonna be, mind games, being yelled & swore at etc. If you don't like Knight that's fine but you MUST have a clean reputation when it comes to trouble Terry Reid did NOT.
he was the king of abuse and should have been jailed for his assaults good riddance
I grew up in Las Vegas UNLV baby watching tarkanian a great manhe would never put his hands on anyone and he would take the time to speak to anyone. nice Bob went back. like takr came back, but I think we're all done with bullies physical assault is unnecessary and illegalI had coaches in the day that would get up in your face scream and yell but they never put a hand on you
Knight stressed academics which most coaches ignore; unfortunately, he did have a horrible temper. Archie Miller, Indiana's current coach is doing a fine job. Today's win vs Butler was amazing with the long three-point shot at the buzzer.
Steve Fischer You’re absolutely right about the academics part and I also think people tend to overlook the part regarding how involved Knight is in helping his former players succeed at the next level, whether it be in professional basketball or in a career outside of sports. As someone who currently goes to Penn State, I have the utmost respect for the program that Archie Miller is running and see great things ahead for Indiana.
Conor Camazine I don’t care for Indiana, even for the the current coach. Knight owned IU. Knight is a basketball villain.
I’ve had teachers and administrators in K-12 who were strict and sometimes had similar tempers as Knight, yet I respected them. I remember the assistant principal at the middle school intimidated me at first, but he eventually showed his lighter side and played practical jokes on me (I.e., called me to the office to meet with him and the principal on April 1 for no apparent reason…after a few minutes, I caught onto the fact it was an April Fools joke which I thought was good humor (my mom didn’t think so though…probably the mama bear in her came out 😆).
Basketball genius and North End of a southbound horse.
Let me ask you guys a question, where else in this society do you see people who feel helpless against others who refuse to support you no matter what the evidence?
How much support did Liz Cheney get from the RepubliKKKan cult
of former President Blowhard to investigate the riots at our capital ?
I'll give you an example from my personal life: domestic violence incidents against men are largely ignored and openly mocked. Men are discouraged from reporting an attack because oftentimes male victims end up in jail facing charges while their female attackers get a slap on the wrist, if anything.
So taking all of the coaches bs makes you man
All those ignorant Indiana fans who were protecting the head coach and the school instead of listening to Reed.
President Brand and those Trustees also were trying to protect the coach and the school. Thank goodness for the video
tape evidence of the choke and made Reed a hero and not a liar.
Knight is a bully and a coward for his behavior to Reed and this is another example where protecting a high profile person
was more important than doing the right thing.
Did you know Neil Reid his father was fired from his basketball high school coaching job???? It’s ok to not like Knight but you can’t say what he did to my kid was bad & turn around & do similar things to your players Terry Reid didn’t do that.
Agreed. Those Indiana fans are pathetic - they would have let Knight shoot someone if he kept winning.
Coach Knight, at that point still the best on X's and O's. But couldn't relate to the player of that time. Coach Knight style was more 70's . Than 80's ECT
Yeah, he coached at Indiana the same way he coached at West Point in the 60s.
Bob Knight was the Donald Trump of NCAA coaches.
Yes, they are both highly successful in their fields and respected by their peers and hated by their foes
@@jonhaynes1577 Knight was a successful coach but a deranged asshole. Trump is an unsuccessful asshole who filed bankruptcy more times than he's been married.
I would of left
Mmmm. I guess my little league coach chasing us in his car was worng.
Hezekiah green - maybe, what did you do to get him that angry?
I would have put Mr Knight out
Another keyboard warrior
“Put him out?” From your girl scouts cookie sales squad?
Bobby or suge ?
Bob knight was the biggest spaz in college Basketball... he was a goof with a bad temper, great work at Texas Tech though... 🤣😂
Knight is a dishonest sadist. He needed psychiatric treatment.
What qualifications do you have to say anyone needs psychiatric help ?
For years i was a Knight apologist. I ended up being anti knight because I think his approach caused players to play in fear and so tight they barely shoot a foul shot. But when I saw the "choke" I thought, "no way. That's what this is all about???" Sorry but this was way overblown.
When you put your hands on somebody and they aren't allowed to hit you back. You're a Punk, Period!! Just like that "accidental" headbutt. It was totally intentional
You're probably a kensucky fan
Fuck bitch ass bob knight and Bloomington... what’s a Hoosier anyway? yokel in a cornfield pretending to coach basketball... maybe Gene Hackman but not that spaz they called the general 😂🤣
Solid career at Texas Texh though...
Luke Recker was the beginning of the end for Bob Knight he was a great coach don’t get me wrong his ego was way to out of control Myles Brand deserves a large share of the blame as well he let this go for years as soon as the Neil Reed story came out everyone was on CYA mode. Again I won’t say Knight wasnt a great coach he was but Knight wouldn’t go to the pros and you wonder why because at that time Sprewell would’ve murdered Knight and he knew it.
That rant from 1991 must of worked IU went to the final four in the 1991-92 season
No issue with Neil Reed RIP I don't think much of his father fired for things some will say were equally like Knights actions or worse.
Knight was a classless thug and an abuser of his players. Couldn't stand him. Glad he got fired.
ok round 2 my favorite male athletes/jocks ever are + were #1 tied wilt chamberlain + bill russell #2 kareem abdul-jabbar + #3 hakeem olajuwon
He wasn't giving participation ribbons. He was a hard nosed coach and demanded excellence, and that's what these people today need.
Agree. Knight’s “scandal” is an early example of outrage journalism tactics against a coach that media wanted out. What’s more outrageous: a college coach grabbing a kid in practice or one who makes $8M per year? This was never worthy of national attention but made great theater & was a good test run for ruining the life & legacy of Joe Paterno at Penn State.
@@r.williamcomm7693 Paterno's big downfall was Sandusky 😂😂😂😂😂
@@Free_the_People Yes it was. But it was the destruction of an old icon who gave every fiber of his being to doing what was right & media used outrage tactics to manipulate his own ppl to destroy him as if he were a total stranger, rather than speaking with him & investigating. Paterno died shortly thereafter & PSU even treated his wife horribly while Paterno was still alive.
We all agree that a man who molests adolescent boys must be imprisoned until dead but that was never the issue at PSU. Seriously, I know it sounds like I’m telling you that it’s dark outside while the sun is actually shining because WE ALL (me included until a few years ago😀) believe that we already know the truth & examining how Paterno was treated is supporting child rape. Except ...that media created such a hostile & emotional atmosphere where we were actually encouraged to express anger. Being angry that Paterno hadn’t been fired yet was standing up for little boys who had been molested but couldn’t speak for themselves & we all got on Facebook said so. Sports media suddenly had a voice in the national spotlight & taking heads got to give tearful speeches about the thoughts of little boys being molested.
Except it turned out that media was reporting many false facts including the ultimate facts that went to the very heart of the issue w/Paterno & Penn State. If you go back & review that mess w/2020 eyes you will be amazed at how gullible all of us were. We lynched the character & legacy of a man who’s entire life was given to service of others all based upon a few sentences that were taken out of context & falsely given meaning to “sex up” the story. Media & social media combined into the mob of cancellation on an 85 year old man who died 74 days later with all he had served turning their backs on him. And to this day 99% of us think that Paterno & other conspired to cover up Sandusky molesting boys to protect Penn State rather than caring about the boys. Almost everything you believe about the case is a lie & some of the lies were quietly retracted 1-2 years later. Paterno’s wins were reinstated & as ppl learn what media did not only to Paterno but to all of us by manipulating us to virtue signal while they cashed in & power was acquired, lost, bought & sold is amazing.
Some day a real movie will be made about what happened & it will portray all of us & society as being just as gullible/ignorant as the ppl & judges in Salem witch hunts. It’s that crazy. Some of the same tactics were used here against Knight. The guy is an egomaniacal jerk at times but media used some of the same tactics here. Sorry this is so long. If you decide that you want to learn the truth about Paterno & some of the others at Penn State then I can post a link & you can go from there. If you go all the way then you might even talk to ppl who were involved in the case or had contact w/Paterno, Sandusky or others in the case like I have. It’s fascinating & im amazed at the legal standards that relieve media & social media for libel & slander. 😀
@@Free_the_People Hey sorry that response was so long. I’ll make it short. 😀 Paterno’s downfall was actually media reporting that Paterno covered up what Sandusky did & manipulated all of us to stand up for child victims against molesters. Of course we all want child molesters to die in prison so that’s what the media manipulated to incite outrage. Turns out media reported lies about everyone involved. Read my long answer if you want more info.
@JBSptfn It takes a lot of words to explain how the claims system worked once the floodgates opened on Sandusky claims. Penn State was settling quickly & lawyers were scrambling looking for clients. With Paterno dead any claim that involved speaking w/him got attention but it only came out because PSU’s state insurance fund saw it as a way to attempt to not pay claims. In other words there’s a bunch of technical stuff that gets spun & there’s never been substantiation that Paterno was told anything let alone by a victim.
I’m not into defending PSU or Paterno, I simply became aware of media not reporting things like multiple “victims” not remembering anything until taken to a “repressed memory” psychologist who destroyed other lives in the same area of PA. Sandusky’s lawyer completely blew the defense. Anyway, all I care about is truth & I promise you that if you decide to look deep into this case you’ll see media tactics that I didn’t even realize were being used until just the last few years. It’s a circus. Here’s a folder to get a start on the video side:
th-cam.com/play/PLF47uq9VM-PxrRhAh3eaTEQXb2vPfXE9E.html
The tape on the internet is fine good God you think Knight is the only one to yell & scream in the locker room???? No Coach K yells, Bob Huggins yells, Tom Izzo yells, Jim Calhoun yells etc. That maybe the most redicious think against Knight other then the whip.
What Bob Knight told the media at 1:53 is something I would say to telemarketers and debt collectors 😆! Those two lines of work are IMO on the same level as the media which Bob Knight said is “one or two steps above prostitution.”
The choking incident was nothing compared to the many first-hand accounts I've gotten from players ... my first year as a student at IU was Knight's second year as coach there ... I lived on the same dormitory floor as a player on the '76 team and after I graduated had extended conversations with another player on the '77 team, who told me about the toilet paper incident years before it was publicized in this video ... and Knight not only slugged players, he also slugged a recruit BEFORE he actually committed to IU ... I'm from NW Indiana and the story about Knight slugging Dan Dakich in his team's locker room after a high school game is legendary in these parts ... although Dakich denied the story, I've actually had this story confirmed by a teacher inside the school system ... an equipment manager on the '76 team also told me ass't coach Dave Bliss was scared as hell of him ... but here's a story that really surprised me ... I used to work with someone who knew former player Eric Anderson, who also played in the NBA for Pat Riley at Miami ... my friend asked him one day who was crazier, Knight or Riley? Surprisingly, Anderson said " ... without a doubt, Riley!"
One thing that I’ve learned in life is that you can’t believe everything you hear something you should learn!
@@dannycorsaro546 Do you really believe Knight never assaulted his players?
I believe any story that a player on the team told me, why would I not? He also slugged Steve Alford in the stomach.
And the incident involving Dakich was confirmed by a friend and my former coach who was inside the school system.
@@douglascarlson9006 you are repeating what other people have said! I’ve listened to Alford, and a lot of other players speak and they all love and respect him! That is enough for me! Dan Is just like bobby and bitter over not getting the IU job! Bob is the greatest coach ever! Period!
@@dannycorsaro546 So what! ... I've had two players tell me in private one-on-one conversations that Knight routinely assaulted players ... and that's enough for me.
@@douglascarlson9006 good for you!
He was an abusive criminal.
Some ball players just werent mentally tough enough to play for Bobby Knight! It took a special kinda player.
You’re an unaccomplished moron
To the contrary, the mentally tough stand up for themselves and don't let an asshole like Knight choke them or scream at them. The weak ones and the ones with no talent (who have nowhere to go since no one else wants them) are the ones who put up with it.
So glad this guy was exposed!
greatest college basketball coach of all times
It's a shame Neil Reed didn't snap Knight's neck.
He wasn't even the best college coach in the state.
@@originnone sorry your bitch azz got triggered over bob knight
😂
I'm not sure what those words mean together. Are you trying to buy a vowel or something? LOL
Bobby Knight hated to lose, that's why he was hard on his players, cause he wanted all of them to be successful, and win a national championship.
Sometimes we all need to be held to a high standard, and at times it takes more tough lough than others.... A shame we have came so weak and self-imposed to learn, to be made to learn., or learn to be made to learn.... All of us..!!!
100's of players over the years and a couple of soft cup cakes spoil it for everyone...
