So back in high school I had this tutor that was from Indiana. And he was 50/50 on Knight, respected him as a coach but also recognized what an asshole he was. 
 

He had some ties to Indiana and he swore this story was true. And I kind of believe it.  I think I want to believe it because from

ever I ever saw from him, it’s believable. 
 

Anyway, Indiana was getting smoked in the first half. Knight comes in the locker room, doesn’t say anything. Just drops his pants, takes a giant dump right in the middle of the floor.  Walks out, and that was it. That was his halftime speech.

I believe it.

 

Here's a slightly modified version of that story:

Season on the Brink is an INCREDIBLE book.  Very even handed on Knight is.  

Can't remember if it was mentioned within the book or elsewhere, but when Feinstein told Coach K that he was going to spend a season with Knight, Mike said "are you nuts??"

 

Feinstein wrote a good column in the Post today about Bobby.

Back in the day when we did the Bang Radio Hour, we had a piece of audio of Bob Knight being confronted by an angry man who claims some buckshot had landed in his pool. He went out to confront whoever, and he found Bobby Knight.
Bobby was out hunting with his friend (apparently named Bob also) in an area designated for hunting (this was in Texas somewhere), and this guy's house was nearby.
This guy went out there and confronted them with his phone on. (This was maybe 2006? So not a good video. But good audio)
What ensues was one of the funniest things we ever had on the show.

The guy is irate.. "I'm just  playin' in mah swimmin' pool, and all this shot come down!".. 

Bobby is BOBBY, arguing, just a totally dismissive dick to the guy, blaming everything but himself, even trying to pin it on his friend, "how do you know I did it? How do you know bob here didn't do it?" Telling the guy to shut up and all kinds of fun.
All the guy wants them to do is move down away from his house.. "Well it says we can shoot here!" says Bobby. The guy is screaming that there's about a thousand acres out there. Bobby refused to move.

Anyway, RIP.

OK, this is the treatment we gave it. 


This is from an old summer rerun show, and it has 4 old clips in there. Bobby is the second one. These reruns were short, this one is 18 minutes.

We had more fun with all the ansulary stuff that went on in and around football.
The other bits are fun too, but be forewarned, these are NOT politically correct, I do impressions of Ray Lewis, my Pacman Jones character and Matt Millen character.. If you remember my old cartoons, you'll know the caricatures I did.
We have Skip and Stephen A Smith arguing about then Lion GM Matt Millen. We have Bobby Knight, we have a thing I found on local news one night of Ray Lewis giving out backpacks to schoolkids... and Pacman discussing the positivity in his life, and all those 'gennelmin clubs" he should stay out of.
If you never heard the show, a moment to brag.
A/ it's funny, Riotously funny at times, if I do say so myself. It was an extension of the cartoons i used to do (and post on this site weekly.)  If you like this, in and around that same timeframe on Spotify there's a bunch of these "mini-casts" that'll give you best-of reruns like this. 
B/ it was one of the first podcasts, we did our first show in 2005 after i read about this new "podcasting" thing and wrote my first feed file. It ran to 2019, and if anyone knows of any other podcasts that ran for 15 seasons, i'd say there aren't many.
But it ran it's course, times change, so it's no longer "funny" to do impressions of Johnny Weir at the Olympics, or make fun of audio of Bernie Kosar being obviously drunk in the booth during a Browns preseason game, or his porn star daughter, which is true, and another great bit of fun we had. We closed it down in 2019, and honestly, the times doing that show are some of the most fun I've ever had. Some of the funniest things we had were about Joe Paterno before anyone knew any of the horrors going on. We had one AMAZING piece of audio of him on the radio and he can't work the phone. The radio guys keep yelling so he can hear, he's trying to get his nephew to help him, oh my GOD it's funny.

Thanks for letting me reminisce!
