KNIGHT was the absolute greatest and could of coached my kid EVERY DAY of the year--- RIP ☘️☘️💛💛

This interview and package was gold. Knight was so intelligent yet is in denial about his weaknesses and errors.

“That’s my choir, though.” Damn right, Coach. R.I.P.

Say what you want ... he maximized the performance, integrity, personal growth of his players. Literally hundreds, and hundreds of young men that looked to Bobby Knight for leadership, and he gave it to them 1000%. HIs players know how to filter the words down to the intended lesson/message. He was the best, and gave us some great human beings.

In the moments are just that in the present. Coach Bob was all about making his players better in every way he could. He set the standard for coaching the right way.

Except for Howard Cosell Bob Costas for me is the greatest sports journalist of all time. His ability to cover a subject in it's entirety balancing the strengths and weaknesses of a person or subject is unmatched. What a brilliant job he did here and he approached Knight in such a respectful way that the questions asked had to be answered. Bobby Knight will be missed. College basketball isn't the same without him.

This is a really good piece that I missed back then. Thanks for uploading it.

Coach Knight could have coached my son ANY day.

Like him or love him Bobby Knight is a living legend. He's always lived on the edge. I think that is part of his mad genius.

that was terrific....thanks for sharing!!!

Bobby knight is everything the college game needs today, I don't give a shit what anyone says he's a winner send sometimes a player needs a kick in the ass mentally and physically to become better in and out of the gym, and I'm a kentucky fan, all love to you coach Knight! respect!

A lot of people never heard about the good things he has done in his career...and he still is.

Looking at the back of bobby knights shirt...does anybody remember when Starter was a huge sports brand?

Bob Knight, Barkley, and sports figures like that draw people to them. If they are asked questions they give honest opinions.

Start rolling in the grave Bobby K!! You are the last of the best we have for our younger gen.. Thanks to the uploader for sharing. really enjoyed it!!

Great interview!

This dude I couldn't play for!

Interview from 1994. Story referenced Univ California winning NCAA basketball tournament 35 years ago, which was 1959.

I'm a proud East Tennessean and Coach Knight has been my favorite basketball coach since the 1980's!! He basically invented the motion offense and was a absolute general as a coach!! I personally think a case can b made for him being the most important college basketball coach in history!!! Just ask Coach K!! I miss him also!!

The way his son described the assault is exactly how victims describe and excuse the behaviour of their abusers.

No coach in history can ever have as much integrity, discipline, intelligence and the ability to train each of his players to be the very best of which they were capable. My husband who was in the USMC often likened Bobby Knight to his drill instructors who in the 60's were much tougher than they are now. But when he was in combat he said he acted and reacted automatically in a manner that was most likely going to save not only his life but the lives of his fellow Marines due to the rigorous and often borderline torturous training from his DIs. I graduated from IU. Bobby Knight is IU to me and when they fired him, I cried. Anyone who played for Bobby was honored to work for and under him. He's my idol and most people who grew up in Indiana will agree.

2:35 "But who has the authority to get on Bob Knight in the state of Indiana?" Knight's answer, essentially, was "no one." He perceived no accountability to anyone but himself while excusing everything that he did. That hubris brought about his downfall.

Bob Knight was the best ❤ he will be missed😢😊

I went to the chair throwing game as a student at IU. Greatest coach ever!! Wild game.

Thank you, Marty Jones, for sharing. While I'm no fan of Coach Knight, perhaps everyone can agree that he was quite the contrast or quite the paradox.

We need more coaches like this now to mold young men. Sadly, this generation would have anyone who hurts their bloated self-esteem fired.

This is my short, and simple observation of Coach Knight: He's about 100% focus, discipline, and integrity. While he delivers his message in a "very strong, demanding way," he'd be less under a microscope if he coached football...

I have much respect for Bob Knight because he was an honest and moral man and he cared more about graduating students than fame.

Boy, this brings back such good memories. I remember watching his shows after the games going over the game in detail. Say what you want, good and bad (sadly) he was great at what he did for the game. But what he did best was making sure he got the best out of his players and integrity and graduation was a must for him. So so miss him. Indiana basketball has NEVER been the same sense he left PERIOD!

Mark Cuban put IU basketball radio broadcasts online in the early days of the internet. He made billions from it. It’s crazy.

LOVE Bob Knight !

Love Bob Knight

The old school way was to be publicly brash and disciplined but to do charity privately and not make a show of it. Knight fit that mold.

I remmber him coming all the way out to Massachusetts to recruit my nephew to play at Indiana. Sat right in my sister's living room. My nephew had 500 offers from colleges. Didn't go to Indiana, because it wasn't an Engineering school. Went to NC State and played 4 years. Three for Norm Sloan and 1 for Jim Valvano.

Bobby Knight will always be my favorite basketball coach. I'm grateful being from Terre Haute, Indiana.

The hell with Bob Costas

RIP Coach The GOAT

Bobby Knight says it like it is and doesn't take no Bull Shit and doesn't kiss no ones ass he's real old school.

Knight shouldve had back to back undefeated seasons..

That is my choir...... Hoo boy, so long ago, Forgotten whata putz Bob Costas was, is, and always will be.

Playing his game got him 3 national titles and many conference titles. Great coach

Glad I was at IU while Bob was coach - good times

In the 23 years since Knight left Indiana, the number of National Championships since then is "0" with only one Championship game appearance in 2002, with players that he recruited. Sometimes the coach can be bigger than the program.

If you get the chance to watch the video on here that Coach Knight did with Joe Buck, the one thing that stood out to me was when Joe Buck told Coach Knight that while he was going to school at IU, he (Joe Buck) was in a class that had four of coaches players in it and the ONLY students that had their attendance records kept were those four, that reemphasized what kind of guy coach was and we need more people in society like him.

the man made men

"Apparently our heads collided."

Mr. Bob Knight is a wonderful soul. I was born and raised in Bloomington, and observed his many kind acts, including but not limited to contributing THOUSANDS ($$$) of dollars from his personal funds toward Landon Turner's surgery and rehabilitation. Turner was paralyzed in a car accident in July 1981 - just four months after winning a national title for IU (with the help of Isiah Thomas). Knight graduated 98% of his four-year players! There was no skipping classes, no entitlements whatsoever because you were a ball player. You had to earn your grades, and earn your playing time on the floor via hard work, discipline, and common sense! Just look at Coach K (Mike Krzyzewski); groomed by Knight. First as a player at Army under coach Knight, then as an assistant coach at IU. Bob Knight is a phenomenal person, and a GREAT teacher! "How do we get there? We don't get there with milk and cookies."

The navy seal of compassion for ncaa men’s basketball

Legend : Bobby knight. Some most can’t be him ;candid no other like him!!! Good old plain spoken not too polically correct!!!!

Only interview i ever saw where bob knight didn't talk down to interviewer !!

There will never be another 🙏❤️🙏👍😁🇺🇲

Look how good IU has been since he was fired. 'nuff said.

Knight was right! Look at our kids today! Costas was trying to uncover something that wasn't there!

My dad always said if I played college basketball, he would only want it to be for one man, Coach Knight.

10:00-10:28 priceless

A pretty fair portrayal....

How many National Championships and Big 10 titles has IU won in the last 20 or so seasons? Exactly. We miss you on the sideline Coach.

It's easy to be a sweetheart like Wooden when you have the alumni backing he had at UCLA.

Kids and time out has done well for our society.

RIP 🪦 Coach Knight

Sheron Coaches high school basketball in Madison Indiana now. Great guy

Tell them Bobby!!!

Bob Knight is just being himself. What more would you want cause he cannot give you want he is not?

Both he and Woody had the same downfall, the television camera. With Woody, it started in 1973 where the 3 networks always showed Woody. Bobby was ESPN-the networks after he won in 87 for the third time. It caused them to lose that trench, bunker mentality with players and assistant coaches. Once he became king of the networks, he lost trust with players and coaches; in return, they lost trust with him. He resented it and became abusive. When he coached for Texas Tech, he brought that trench bunker mentality back and had some good seasons but he was too old by then.

RIP Bob Knight

We need more Bobby knights and less candy asses...

Fair and balanced. Knight DID purposely headbutt Wilkerson. He didn't deliberately kick his son. Props to Costas for predicting Knight's eventual demise. "And his brilliant career may end in an irrational incident..." Wasn't the end of his career but it was the end of his time at Indiana.

Coach Knight style of coaching reminds me allot of General Patton. Both were brash yet strategic geniuses whose contraversial leadership methods produced positive results. Both leaders cared deeply for the men who served under them, yet wouldn't hesitate to aggressively correct those who were slacking or jeopardized the greater good of their unit/team. People who can appreciate 110% work ethic, attention to detail, and the ability to over come adversity would appreciate both leaders...

Know this people, "People will only remember you, by the last bad thing you do!" But he is the (Coach GOAT)

The Chair throw was a game with Purdue 1985 he hated to lose to them like they did that day

Years ago, a profile article on Costas referred him as forever looking like an Indiana University sophomore

Knight legend

Throwing a chair isn't flamboyant? C'mon Mr. Knight. Throwing a chair in protest of a call in a basketball game is the definition of flamboyant.

The difference between RMK and most other legendary coaches is that Knight's crazy happened in public as well as private. Where he lost me is that, after he was fired by Indiana, he played the victim card. You can't be him and be a victim. That showed cowardice.

When I first saw 10:00, I just started laughing and giggling at Bobby Knight making fun of his players running up and down stairs dropping f-bombs. I wish I could hear an uncensored version of Bobby Knight's tirade in that segment!

Tyrants always go down! Kudos to that young man for keeping his cool after he was intentionally assaulted.

You can tell he is an "ends justify the means" type of guy. He is so uncomfortable taking questions because he can't put it into words in a politically correct way. Very interesting person.

13:44 This is an almost perfect paragraph of Col. Nathan R. Jessup's testimony in A Few Good Men.

Costas predicted his demise perfectly

I don’t see a legend. I see an out of control coach

"I think that if rape is inevitable, relax and enjoy it." Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight

The BEST coach that basketball has ever seen, and probably will ever see... Indiana has NEVER been the same after they fired him... These creme puff kids are so much worse off for NOT having a Bob Knight coaching them... Period!

I love Bobby Knight I like a man that tells it like it is says what's on his mind don't give a crap what anybody else thinks

Those days kids didn't disrespect people. He's a basketball genius.

Players cant do anything bad but he can do what he wants 😂

It’s never the media’s fault.

What was Knight known for scheme wise? Like x’s and o’s? His teams remind me of Calhoun’s UConn teams with the tough rebounding and defensive nastiness I just forgot what kind of offense BK ran....

Costas did an excellent job. Balanced the genius with the flaws.

at the end of the day you're trying to put a leather ball through an iron ring

That headbutt sure looked intentional to me but i guess if Bob said it was accident it must be true.

If coach was football coach that style of temper and rough house, would of been better and accetable

Question has this guy ever smiled in his life? He reminds me of Al Fusco and he was FN nuts!

Seriously though: Does any person love talking more than Bob Costas?

Love the man and I'm from Canada!

March 1994.

sick

Bob Knight is the man always will be he's done more good then bad always done it the right way unlike many of the guys u see now Calipari for example 2 schools on probation soon to be a 3rd

He would have been great in the WWE

I wish more coaches were like coach Knight! College first! Then basketball.

The power of winning those 3 championships inflamed his anger and gave him complete anger at times crossing a line !!
