Coach Sanctions didn't have his Hoosiers ready to play early versus a tough Patriot League opponent on Monday night. The Lafayette Leopards were within 3 points until right around the 10 minute mark in the second half when the Hoosiers athleticism put the game away. Playing to a half-empty Conseco Fieldhouse for the Pre-Season NIT Regional round, the Hoosiers clearly no longer seem to be the darling of the Indiananapolis sports fans that they were during Bob Knight's tenure in Bloomington. Speaking of...Knight's at it again
During TT's big win over a scrapy Gardner-Webb squad, Knight (not coach Knight, not Mr. Knight) "pushed the chin" of one of his players (Freshman, Michael Prince) to get him to look "the A-hole ball coach" in the eye. As all-around great guy, Bob Knight, edges closer and closer to Dean Smith's career coaching wins mark, one has to wonder, how many more times will we see this? Texas Tech, fans, athletic department and players (most importantly), don't say no one warned you...Butler beats Notre Dame
More Pre-Season NIT regional action from Conseco- Butler beats UND...not that big of a deal really since Butler's respectable and UND isn't that great, but I love seeing Notre Dame lose; no matter when it occurrs.By the way, have you heard that Notre Dame had this player named Rudy who blah blah blah blah and their genius football coach ran a play for a kid who was dying and blah blah blah blah...

Yeah, I mean, I wasn't sure where to begin this morning.... I was thinking of posting something about a-hole Digger Phelps and wonder how he would defend ND's loss to Butler. Then I saw the video of Knight practically uppercutting his player... your boyfriends Mike and Mike this morning thought nothing was wrong with it and had old farts like Fran Fraschilla and our old friend Gene Keady on to discuss... they both thought it was fine, too, as did Jay Bilas who, incidentally, loves Coach Knight.
I hadn't seen the hit and with the way they talked about it, I thought it had to be something like a "hey, look at me, son" -- which it was, I guess -- but it sure was a hard hit.
It's amazing that we're at a point now with Knight where this will pass... honestly, he should be fired. You don't put your hands on a player like that. Grab his jersey, fine... even grab his arm to get him to look at you... but you don't pop him in the jaw.
that was a jab; no doubt about it. Keady's a moron for thinking it's OK; the rest of that panelwere already morons.
