R.I.P. Bobby Knight Passes Away at 83

[Jersey77]

Well said.

[Jdrums#3]

I remember watching his undefeated Indiana team with Quinn Buckner, Scott May and Kent Benson on TV back in the 70’s. Man, that was a long time ago.

RIP coach.

[RI_Bred]

He was certainly a character, and a superb basketball coach. RIP

[Rhody74]

As brilliant as he was I wonder if his temperament would have been tolerated in the 2020s.

I mean it wasn't tolerated in 2000. One hell of a coach who also undoubtedly was a gigantic asshole to his players, secretaries, ADs and pretty much everyone else connected to basketball.

Absolutely not. RIP, coach

I was hoping Archie was going to toss a chair on the court tonight. RIP to an original.
