Thanks to the TT fans, who never knew what quality basketball fans were till he got there. They got there wish, let's see how Pat can do. One of the top 3 coaches ever retired today

Wow - that's sad, man.

 

[hatvol96]

This is the saddest I've ever been over a pure sports story.

Do you believe that Bobby quit over the fans being unhappy? From reading some of there message boards and talking to people they sound rather ungrateful. Staging boycotts and other things just sounds stupid. I hope those people are the minority of the fan base. Honestly, who couldn't see this coming at the end of the year? He has accomplished everything there is to do and has done all he could have done at TTU

so you think he'll be a worse coach than he was a player?

Amazingly, yes.

My guess is that he had simply had enough.

i can't wait for the press conference or the interview on this ordeal. it has all the making of another Knight classic.

 

[BigPapaVol]

Amazingly, yes.

he'll be there for about 2 years, unless Bob stays on in some sort of "consulting" capacity, which given the driver of today's events, might be impossible.

 

[dickens821]

W o w.

 

[GAVol]

Hard to believe. I would have liked to have seen him go out better than this.

I personally see it as a rather peaceful press conference compared to most

 

[True_Fan]

stunning news...well Bob - you were the Master...Happy Trails!!!

 

[doozer]

he said in an interview once that he should have left IU about 5 years before he actually did. i wonder if he had the sense now that he admittedly didn't have at IU, and just decided this time it's wiser to get out.

 

[WA_Vol]

He's 67, I wonder if he would ever consider coming out of retirement to coach another year somewhere else? I hope, but I doubt it. Didn't realize he was that old till the story broke.

On a sidebar, has anyone ever watched the youtube video's with bobby knight? the golf instructional video's are pretty funny.
