I'd love to punch that guy in the face. He wouldn't be such a badass while laying on the ground.

When they welcomed him down to Texas, they had a chair-throwing contest in a grocery store parking lot.

Sure he is hot-headed, but he is a hell of a coach.

Nah. I'd love to see somebody go WWF on him with a folding chair that he loves to kick and toss around so much.

The story I heard on the radio this morning was that Knight was eating in the store's cafe and the chancelor and someone else saw him and were discussing how well behaved Knight had been. So the chancelor decided to go up to Knight and tell him that he was glad that he hadn't made headlines for flipping out.

So he flipped out.

I can kind of see where he's coming from, I mean, in the same situation I'd be kind of mad that they said something to me too, like I was a child or something. I can't say I'd have chased the person around the store and into the parking lot yelling at them though.

I think the spelling of your user name should give you a bad name.

Yeah, they have sucked.....I guess you missed the National Championship game they played in in 2002, and went 2 round in the NCAA's last year.
I'm no Indiana fan, but that doesn't suck.

I'm waiting for the day Knight comes out with a line of motivational or anger management tapes and hits the talk show circuit.

He'd probably kick your ass.

Probably, but it's the thought that counts.

He's one of the best active coaches in the NCAA right now. He can flip out if need be.

Eventually they will get tired of his antics and fire him just like he was fired from Indiana.
