Bobby Knight has lost it.

[INdemo]

if you've ever seen Bobby Knight on one of his speaking tours you probably vowed that you would never ever waste you money for a ticket to hear him again and his "all about me,and wasn't I the greatest and everyone else is a piece of shit" theme

He might have been a decent Basketball Coach in the 70's and early 80's but he kept slipping to evolve into this.
Here is the video Bobbly Knight demonstrates through this absolutely non intelligent answers what so ever and his reasoning why he supports Donald Trump

1. I don't know if he ever had it.

[JVS]

3. This. Bobby knight isn't just a member of the fucking lunatic club, he's one of the founders.

4. You got that right...

As I recall, he slapped his OWN son.

He's slapped, spanked a player with a towel and screamed directly into players ears. Has cursed them, thrown chairs, is STILL I believe banned from ever going to Puerto Rico. He's embarrassing as all get out.

He makes as much sense as Trump, and that's NO sense at all. They both deserve each other

14. Beat me to it. (If you'll pardon the pun).

[JI7]

2. i'm not into sports but hasn't he always been an asshole and just the type that would

support someone like Trump ?

6. Your analysis sounds pretty spot on...

...to me.

I do not think there is ever any justification for adults behaving the way Bobby Knight did when he couched.

5. Bobby Knight was a good coach

He gave a lot to charities, he made his players understand that academics came before sports, and he has the respect of most of his former players... but his politics were always a little wacky.

I worked in Bloomington, IN during part of the time he was there and also at the end. This doesn't surprise me a little bit.

7. It sounds like he had an abusive streak.

[radical noodle]

9. He demanded respect from the players

and he had a quick temper (to say the least). A select few wanted him gone and some taunted him into losing it. He had zero self control.

[CentralMass]

11. You earn respect not demand it.

[radical noodle]

13. Demanded is the right word for Knight n/t

[tenderfoot]

12. Joe Paterno was a good coach too.

Sports builds character like throwing chairs....

[The Second Stone]

8. Knight was always an abusive person, whatever his good qualities

I can't figure why Coach Wooden befriended him in view of that.

[gratuitous]

10. The Woody Hayes of college basketball

Great won-loss record as a coach, as a human being I wouldn't trust him with anything or anyone I valued.
