it's easy to tell that bob knight is a born leader. he doesn't need a script. he speaks his mind and from the heart. a great speaker.

Coach K .. What a brilliant man, he speaks from the heart. What a wonderful job Coach Knight did in introducing Coach K as well, you can tell their genuine love and respect between the 2

I am a Tarheel through and through but I have nothing but respect for Coach K. Class act all the way.

Inspirational and moving. Great to see a nice guy with family values and a very meager beginning become successful. To earn the respect of Bob Knight is a great tribute alone your family and players. You can do the right things in life and win!

I bleed Carolina blue but this is awesome. Coach K is not only a good coach but a great example for his players and everyone else. Mad respect for him and all of his accomplishments.

I have forever been a Tar Heel and will forever be a Tar Heel. But I must say, Coach K‘s speech was brilliant. His success clearly is no accident. The way he rallied around the Carolina family at Dean Smith‘s passing is a testament to the class act that he is.

Bobby Knight is a GAWD!!1!

Never fails Everytime I watch this, my eyes well up with tears. This guy is one hell of an example of what a man is supposed to be

Never forget where you come from,love it coach

From a tarheel born and bred til the day I'm dead, coach k is CLASS at its best. Thank you coach for making my tar heels better year end and year out. You gave us a drive to beat you like no other. You always have great teams and I can honestly say it's been an honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with our neighbor 8 miles away and represent college basketball. Sad day coming to see you retire. Duke basketball won't be the same

Two great coaches shared with us many insights that we all will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Coach Knight's speech at the beginning is even more true today with all the political fear mongering going on

I'm a Chicago Polish person I fully understand a person like Mike. Anybody can say anything about Mike but I know one thing he was raised to be a good person.

icredible speech from Bob Knight, but even more from Coah K on his family and what he came through!!! great regards from Germany

Such eloquence from Coach Knight! The love shines through.

the way marriages USED to be.....and SHOULD be still.

You can tell why he's a hell of a coach and how well he explained what it means the game and what's the best way of facing this enshrinement! REMARKABLE!!

I see a lot of these comments are from years ago, it feels surreal to be writing this during March Madness, as Coach K has Duke advancing along to the Sweet 16 game tomorrow, his last year as coach. It’s incredible the foundation he has created as a coach.

Coach K is a living legend in the basketball history !!! THE BEST BASKETBALL COACH IN THE NCAA HISTORY !

Has to be one of the best enshrinement speeches by far.

Coach K, the sane Bobby knight

WHAT A CLASS ACT!! MIKE KRZYZEWSKI YOU ARE ALL CLASS!!

"None of us can do what all of us can do if all of us do it together."

one of few GREAT MEN to the WORLD

What a speech.

Bob Knight is the GOAT for what he does in his speech - ty Coach Knight! WDWD!!!!

From this Indiana fan: Coach K would qualify for the Hall of Fame based upon his accomplishments subsequent to being inducted in the Hall of Fame.

Just a class act coach K and a great human being

One for the THUMB!!!!!!!!!! even more important.... is the way he has carried himself and he teaches his players to carry themselves.... its called CLASS!!!! When you wikki the word LEADER..... it should go to Coach K bio......

I cried watching this. The speech is moving.

yup tearing up here in 2021...remarkable story

Two great coaches, not so much for making his players super starts but helping them develop them for life.

beautiful coach k hooah

great speech beautiful speech

class personified.....and he almost got the axe after his first year

Dad K! Well deserved! The GOAT of college basketball and the Men's Olympic basketball teams for sure! High honors sir!🙏🏾💕🌟🎉🥰

Coach K belongs into hall fame.

Coach K. is one of the best Coaches We ever had.

my god... this was 2001 and the video looks stone age-y. technology is getting out of control.

That’s beautiful!

Polish Blood Mike! Thanks So Much!

Classy is the air he breaths.

man that was beautiful

No way in hell Coach K is 65?!?! Daaaaamn!!!

GOD bless you forever Sister

Every spouse should feel that way about their spouse("partner"), that's what marriage is about, love, sacrifice, commitment .... so many people think it's a flavor of the month kind of deal,,,,move on to another, nope,,,,it's taking those vows seriously and loving and honoring that person who stood with you and exchanged those vows! As I type this, these two are about to celebrate their 53rd wedding anniversary.....my parents made it to 46, but my Dad passed at age 71,,,,,They would be celebrating their 70th this year....they had that same type of love and commitment and passed it on to their five children, as I know Mike and Mickie have done for their three children!

Anyone else think this guy looks like he hasn't aged a day? He must be immortal or something

Always despise at first K. Made my Tarheels lose but also provided great games. Was no Dean Smith as I watch as a kid in the 80's 90's. But man hes got my respect as much as Dean Smith as I got older.

i may root against Duke on the court, but I will never root against Coach K.

The greatest college basketball coach of all time.

That is without a doubt the best speech I’ve ever heard. Both coaches are not the best of

Mike ,if I may I'm you are the best and I'm a indiana, and a Kentucky fan,😍😍😍😍🎩🎩🎩🎓❤

"None of us can do what ALL OF US can do... you never accomplish all that you accomplish alone."

Never underestimate the greatest decision you never made.🤭💕 Just say yes. You never know where it will take you.🙏💯

Choo choo!!!! 🚂

No dry eyes here

His wife is trippin. Great guy.

Best Coach Ever!!!💙💙💙💙

lol look over his right shoulder... idk if thats really nicholas cage though... this only happened 12 years ago

goat

That’s a real Man!

Bobby Knight looks like Mike Pence

That was fantastic! I root for Duke until they play Carolina.

It would have been a nice touch for Bob to throw a chair during his introduction.

DUKE AT ITS FINEST, DUKE AT ITS FINEST!

How did he get inducted and he’s not retired

bobby looks sharp

🇺🇸

Lost his last home game. Lost his last ACC tournament. Lost his last collegiate game. Yeah, that's what I remember.

I dont give a f about some sport speaches, but wow, Make delivered.

As much as I couldn't stand watching Coach K slapping the floor on defense and the annoying players he recruits, you cannot argue with his success (second only to Wooden really) and that he is a great guy; it doesn't seem like an act and it appears to be genuine.

Bobby Knight looks weird in a suite

Singler and crew were upper class men (McDonald's All-Americans). So was Battier and crew. He's a top five coach for sure, but I'd still take Wooden and Dean Smith over him.

John Wooden

09:15 Weak handshake by Knight

DUKE!

I hate when people are methodical with their methods...

if you can get past Knight's longwind, Coach Mike touches the heart and is worth hearing.

The comments say it all” I may not root for Duke but respect for Coach K”

I saw mike in vegas likes gambling.

that was a black guy not nicholas cage lol

Whew...sounds like a lot of McDonald's All-Americans. How does he perform when he has average players. Mercer? He's a top coach, but not the best ever. Bo Ryan may be a better coach. maybe?!

WOW!!!!! Coach K is awesome. GO DUKE BLUE DEVILS!!!!!

agree knight seems to be a dinosaur not having something to say to this generation

The helpful bolt paradoxically delay because doll evidently force within a ugliest flood. fluttering, embarrassed kohlrabi

Riveting speech when it was good, but egomaniacal all the way. He HAD to talk as much of himself and press politics as much as speak about Coach K. However, when he talked about Coach K, it was great.

You mean choking them like Knight.

I've thought for two decades that Coach K is not only a phenomenal coach but also a phenomenal person. He's all about personal integrity, dignity, code of ethics, etc. etc. But what convinces me that he is full of shit is that he has been making tens if not over a hundred million dollars off the backs of talented basketball players who chose to play for him at Duke. Few of them went on to play in the NBA and made some money, but the vast majority of his players ended their basketball career at Duke. If Coach K is the man that everybody says he is, a man of honor, then he should take 20% of all the money he's earned at Duke and he should distribute that money among his players who never made it to the NBA. They worked their asses off so that HE could continue to coach at Duke and keep getting his contract renewed, with more zeros added each time. Don't talk to me about these players getting a free education at a great university. They were there to play basketball. Coach K should be ashamed of himself for pocketing all them millions while his slaves worked for no compensation (if you call free tuition and room and board when you're bringing in a shit load of money to your school, you're just too damn naive). The same goes for Nick Saban, Rick Pitino, Jim Harbaugh, Urban Meyer, or any other big time college football/basketball coach.

what hall of shame, only because the REFS, AND EAST COAST BIASSSS LOVE HIM, I HATE DUKE AND K,,HE always scared to play fast, so methodical in his methods,,,and believe me the master of trades is becoming the full of tirades and busters.
