HoosierJax Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 This is beating a dead horse...If this wasn't Bob Knight there wouldn't have even been a thought to make this film...same with the "chair" it's been over 30 years ago yet people want to bring it like it happened yesterday,...how about making a 30 for 30 on everything Bob did for the University,Library,kids,players or just something that maybe a lot of people don't even know....hell they could make one on what he did for Landon Turner and what Landon has done for himself,to me that would be more interesting then a witch hunt or someone opinion on who did this and he did that.Bob had a temper,Bob done things his own way,Bob did things that he wouldn't tolerate out of his own players...oh,now I'm beating the dead horse.

If Knight would have acted like an adult and made amends with the new administration the story would die.

Great point. Almost like there was absolutely no reason he couldn’t show up to honor the 76 team. Yet he’s the walking man child that couldn’t bear to set foot on campus to honor them.

5fouls Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Not coming back to honor the 76 team says it all in my opinion. Not acknowledging AJ Guyton's heartfelt request to come to his HOF induction was not cool either. The man showed his true colors and they are not the kind I personally admire.

IUwins0708 Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 I myself, a huge Knight supporter, have grown tired of his act. I don’t care if he likes the admins and nobody else does either but when you basically stick it to your former players when many reached out to him, I have no use for the man anymore. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still one of if not the best coaches ever. Just needed to grow up. I’m afraid it’s too late for most fans and supporters of his.

Can't believe people waste their time and more importantly, pay money to see that bitter old man. Most IU fans in my circle could care less about Knight at this point, myself included.

Nobody new reveres him though how many of his supporters are 30 or younger? Coach K will be talked about by fans who never watched him coach a game. Because of his legacy.

In your opinion you cant be both? You are probably one of the guys that criticized Colts fans that also supported the Broncos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
