Genius is always close to the edge. I will always appreciate his genius.

Coach not only taught basketball, but he also taught his players how to succeed in life, where you have to make your own way, expecting "no rainbows and unicorns." RIP Coach.

I never was a fan of Bob Knight when I was younger, but as I've grown older and am now in my 60's -- and see what the world has become without discipline and principles --- I understand him a lot better now then I did back then. RIP Bob Knight.

Coach Iba spent quite a bit of time with the IU teams during Knight's tenure at the university. Iba went on a world tour in the mid 80s with the IU team. Bob Hammel, a sports reporter in Bloomington, was one of Knight's closest friends.

I saw Coach Knight speak at a charity luncheon in Chicago. The funniest and best speaker that I have ever heard. Side splitting funny.

One of my best friends played for him. He always talked about how hard he was to play for but if you did, there wasnt a thing in the world he wouldnt do for his players.y friend never sniffed the NBA but the doors coach opened for him professionally cant be over stated. He always attributes his success to coach Knight

Bob Costas never ages, oh my goodness. Bob Costas speaks so eloquently. He knew Bobby Knight very well.

He stands as a remarkable basketball coach and a mentor who has shaped countless young men. Nearly 95% of his students graduated under his tenure, and an astounding 99% of them have grown into exemplary and productive individuals. This enduring legacy is the essence of his remarkable career.

We've become the type of society that will have ENDLESS sympathy for a homeless drug addict breaking into stores to feed his habit and claiming to be a victim. But we'll HATE a guy like Bobby Knight, a man who proved to be one of the most successful individuals at his job in history. A man who gave money to many charities without seeking recognition. A man who took coddled teenage boys, and turned them into young men who could handle the real world, and who pushed themselves to college basketball championships, NBA careers, and the capacity to handle real life pressure in their careers and to demand excellence from themselves in the classroom and beyond graduation. Bobby Knight's "greatest crime" in life, was screaming some cuss words and having some trivial physical contact with some players that didn't actually injure or harm them in any way. Take those "evils", and compare it to the good his influence had in thousands of lives, and to his haters, I say GOOD LUCK leaving a better legacy in your own life.

Bob C what a classy guy
I've been on a vintage later with Bob Costas Marathon watching the full interviews with Bob Seger Glenn Frey Paul McCartney from the old lady show it's great to see the whole episodes up from the early 90s
