Wow. I had not heard.
He had a big impact on the sport. Positive and negative.
WOW , just sad. ---Controversial but I still kinda liked him -- he pulled n punch's told it like it was. - -I remember the chair throwing- -mercy. - Whether you wanna admit it or not he will be missed. Says lengthy illness - -wonder waht it was ?
Sad day in the Basketball world.- -RIP BOBBY
I don't think he knew 🫘 for a long time!
RIP to a legend, was not my cup of tea but his legacy will certainly carry on in the fabric of the sport.
If people I grew up with could stop dying
that’d be greaaaaaat.
RIP, Bob. Now we can bury you upside down so your critics can kiss your ass!
I used to work with a lady whose son was a 4 year starter for Knight in the mid 80's and played pro basketball internationally after graduation. If you ever wanted to get your a$$ ripped, talk smack about Bobby Knight around her.
She was VERY adamant that he was the best guy ever. She was a tough love advocate and always felt that his love for the players was overshadowed by the public opinion of his detractors.
When Indiana dismissed Knight, her son basically disowned the University. He loved Knight as much as his mom did.
The athletic has a very lengthy article by Seth Davis that explores both sides.

Isn't life wonderful lol
I personally was a huge Knight fan and am sad to see him pass.
The only bad thing he did was teach coach K how to coach.

That might be a stretch.
