Lamar Fires Pat Knight, Who Was A Loser And A Bully

Bob Knight's kid was shitcanned Sunday morning. The last time you gave a thought to the guy was probably two years ago, when Knight interrupted his own player, Mike James, during a press conference and told him, "You don't have a clue what it takes to win." The rant that followed earned him the worst sort of praise from the worst sort of basketball pundits, the people who get a vicarious kick out of watching an authority figure put young athletes in their place. The following season, he went 3-28. This season, he was 3-22.

Here's Tom Scocca's story about the press-conference rant from March 2012.
