I am not a basketball fan at all. I just compare Bobby Knight to the off track/garage/interview version of A.J. Foyt. They both have talent, both are some of the best in their fields but both act insane.

Coach Knight... IMO was a great coach... but what I best remember from coach came from an old golf show he use to do... Anytime I needed a laugh... I watched this video.

Warning... The language used in this video are not for children.

Prepare to laugh your ass off!!!

Agreed Scott, too many people just don't realize all the 'positive" influences that he has had on so many people, and all of the other contributions he has made.:respect:
