I couldn’t agree more. He is the only reason I’ll ever watch a Texas Tech game. And as you know, I do more yelling at refs than anyone. Point well taken.

I think Bobby Knight is one of basketball’s, if not all sport’s, greatest characters. Its great to know that “The General” can still get fired up and quite frankly, with the talent (or lack there of) that has come in and out of Texas Tech in recent years, those temper tantroms are the only thing that has put them in nationally televised games. Sure they have been a tournament calibor team in recent years, but I can honestly say that I wouldn’t waste 2 minutes of my time watching one of their games if Bobby Knight wasn’t their coach and there wasn’t the slightest possibility of him absolutely giving it to the refs for blowing and obvious call. I mean think about how many times you’ve watched a game and found yourself inadvertently screaming at the tv due to a terrible call from the zebras. Now there may be coaches that talk the refs about the call, and even a few that may get a little colorful and possibly take of their jacket in rage, but only “The General”, the one and only Robert Montgomery Knight, can relay those same emotions that you are to the tv to the mistaken refs and let them know how poorly they’re doing their job in that very warm, special way

Comments on: Knight earns 900th win, says he’s lucky to be alive, I agree
