Bob Knight can't bullwhip his players anymore, and so over the past few years he's redirected his unmitigated anger about college athletics. It now rests squarely on the head of Kentucky basketball pimp John Calipari. On Saturday, Knight spoke to some Hoosiers at a banquet in Wabash, Ind. and claimed that the starting five on the 2009-2010 Kentucky basketball team "had not been to class that semester." More »

The chickenshit sports network finds it necessary to ask viewers for forgiveness after former Indiana statesman Bob Knight uses the word "chickenshit" on what appears to be some sort of Gameday gimmick at Baylor. More »

Cell phone etiquette: we've mostly nailed it down. Don't talk while driving. Don't text during class. Don't clean your ear with the antenna. Bob Knight probably treats cell phone like the 3-point line in basketball. He'll begrudgingly accept them into his world, but the minute he's appointed Mayor Of The World, he's banning them forever.

The Indiana-Purdue game tonight has the makings of a classic, with the surging Boilers heading into Bloomington to tick down the last dying days of Kelvin Sampson at Indiana. It's gonna be fun. And another subplot? How about Nets coach Lawrence Frank ... and Bob Knight? More »

We're a bit late on this, but continuing the Indiana pile-on this morning, apparently this guy wore a "Bring Back Bobby" T-shirt to the Indiana-Wisconsin game the other night. And they made him take it off. More »

When we first began studying to be a journalist at the University of Illinois — as much as one ever "studies" to be a journalist — one of our professors told us that you're not really a journalist until you've done the worst, but necessary, job in the journ world: You've called up the family of someone who has died in an accident. It's part of the job, and, if you'll exclude the crudeness, it's a cherry you have to break to become the hard-bitten, aggressive, clear-eyed reporter you're expected to be. In the sports department at the Daily Illini, there was an equivalent: Standing up and asking Bob Knight a question. It involved less of a moral stand, but just as much intestinal fortitude. More »

One would think, by this point of his career, Bob Knight would have grown a little bit of a thicker skin. But, of course, that would make him someone other than Bob Knight, now, wouldn't it? More »

Yesterday, we told you about the wacky hijinks involving Bob Knight, a shotgun and his neighbors. Well, the Dallas Morning News has exclusive video of the actual confrontation between Knight and a neighbor who claims he was shooting too close to his house. More »

Texas Tech coach Bob Knight and "Arliss" — sorry: "Arli$$" — star Robert Wuhl were guests of Cards manager Tony La Russa during last night's brutal, nasty, hideously played 14-inning Cardinals-Royals game. (The Cardinals won, but it was not something they should be proud of.) More »

They bring up The Gene Hackman, The John Belushi (cocaine optional), The Dwight Schrute Podium Hammer and, our personal favorite, the infamous Bob Knight "I Will Destroy You" Method, memorialized above. That's your all-time winningest Division I-A coach, folks. More »
]]> http://deadspin.com/index.php?op=postcommentfeed&postId=244125&view=rss&microfeed=true Well, we know college basketball season is officially upon us: Bob Knight is being accused of brutalizing a player again. This time, it was Texas Tech sophomore forward Michael Prince, who made the mistake of not making eye contact with Knight while being lectured after a timeout. Knight bopped Prince under the chin, and Prince, being a trained athlete and not, say, an infant, did not break his jaw or burst into tears. More »

As you may know if you've watched ESPN at any point over the last few weeks, tonight debuts "Knight School," a six-episode reality show detailing the quest of sixteen young men to be chosen as a walk-on to the Texas Tech basketball team. More »

When we first heard of plans for a Bobby Knight reality series on ESPN, we just assumed that it would focus on hunting. No such luck — it's about basketball. Anyway, the latest — and we were shocked to hear this — is that, occasionally, the coach's language may have to be censored. More »

Looks like the shadow of Bob Knight might have finally taken down its target in Bloomington. We've heard rumors from solid sources at Indiana that coach Mike Davis — who has been under fire pretty much since the day Knight left — finally had enough of it yesterday and resigned as Hoosiers coach. Davis wasn't coaching the Hoosiers today because of a "flu," but rumblings say he finally walked away yesterday after a frustrating practice. The Hoosiers lost at home to Iowa. More »

Remember the Larry Krueger radio imbroglio from this past summer? His replacement on KNBR-680 Sportsphone radio, Damon Bruce, hasn't really been all that much of an improvement (although he refrains from slurs against Dominican hitters, we'll give him that). Bruce has his moments, though. One came on Monday night, in a recurring feature he calls "The Gospel According to Bobby Knight." More »

When we were a kid, we would always stay in the stadium hours after Illinois football games ended so we could watch the players and press meet by the tunnel to the locker rooms; something about balding paunchy men interviewing people 30 years their junior fascinated us even then. We never quite had the gumption, however, of a Texas Tech fan after their game earlier this season, who screams at Oklahoma players "Goooo Raiders!" repeatedly.

According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal — which has to be the strangest name for a newspaper we've ever seen — Texas Tech assistant basketball coach Pat Knight will succeed his father (his dad goes by "Bob") as the Red Raiders' head coach. We are wary of calling this eventual promotion "nepotism" or "everyone being too scared of his dad to so much as cough," so we thought we'd take a look at the younger Knight's resume. You know, just in case. More »

Resident nerdy professor ESPN ombudsman George Solomon filed his newest impotent you-darned-kids column on Saturday, and, as usual, we imagine ESPN brass reading it, shaking their heada, chuckling, then tossing another few more Indonesian children on the fire. (It's gonna get cold in Bristol soon; it's the middle of September, you know.) We continue to be amused by the notion of ESPN having an omdbudsman all together; it's like someone following Don King around and occassionally pointing out, "Uh, Don, you know, you're not necessarily doing the right thing by these boxers" as Don picks his teeth with a featherweight's bones.
