If you haven’t heard, Bob Knight has been hired by ESPN to be a college basketball analyst beginning March 12. You might have heard whispers that Knight has a volatile personality, but don’t let that turn you off; the man knows his basketball.
In eager anticipation for his debut as analyst for the World Wide Leader, here’s five quotes you might hear from Coach Knight.
On Indiana’s coaching woes: What the f*ck would you ask me that for? Am I the coach of Indiana basketball? Hell, am I the coach of any f*cking basketball team? No. I’m sitting here beside you, pretending to know just like the rest of the idiots on T.V. land. Is that okay? Do you mind me being an idiot?
On his predictions for the NCAA tournament: You know, the last time I tried to predict something, my wife didn’t go downstairs and get me water after we were finished. See the problem with you guys is that you all are always trying to see the future. Basketball isn’t a game for godd*mn psychics.
On his pick for Player of the Year: One man doesn’t make your program. You need five guys all focused on the same goal. But if you’re asking me who’s the one I would throw out of practice first for not hustling, it would be Michael Beasley, because if that sonofabitch is not busting his ass, then no one on the team is.
On Mid Majors: What the hell do people mean by mid-major? Is that an oxymoron? Mid-major? How the hell can you be middle and major at the same time? That’s like me calling you a baptist Jew. They are small schools, with just as much of a freakin’ chance as anybody else.
On Digger Phelps: You know I really like how you match your tie and your highlighter every night. What, do you have some type of fashionista back there? Can I have a fashionista? Sh*t, they actually asked me to wear sweaters when I first took this gig.
