Bob Knight Gets Reprimanded

[BradleyBrave]

Was it the "F" word? What if none of the players had heard that type of language before? Can you imagine the impact that Coach Les may have had on his freshman players if he used the "F" word during practice!

Coach K routinely drops the 'F-bomb' during practices and throughout the game. Maybe it's because he's a Knight disciple. I think he's a pretty good coach.

Well....believe what you want, but I don't talk like that, lots of coaches also don't, and most of the civilized world doesn't.
There were two separate Scott Skiles threads -- started almost simultaneously, one on this, the Basketball board, and one over there on the General board, nothing to my knowledge got moved anywhere.
Here's the one from the Basketball Board
Here's the one from the General Sports Board

And I have done the math and posted it numerous times...
There are more BU related posts and college basketball posts of varying interest on this board.... than on any board of its kind. Only a handful of BCS schools and schools with huge football fans bases are even a fraction as active as Bradleyfans...and not one midmajor board that I have ever seen has the traffic we have, and it has to do with the wide range of topics and good basketball & BU coverage we have.
We are endlessly getting PM's and e mails telling us we have a tremendous variety of great stuff that's of interest to all fans, not just BU fans, so I don't want to change that.

There's a good reason that even at odd times of the day and night we still have upwards of 50-75 people viewing this board and its topics.

How come if a BU player/recruit gets a suspension due to a failed drug test, that's discussed all over the Valley (and here, too), but if we talk about the horrible discipline and the DUI's and arrests of the other Valley players, then it seems to offend some. Frankly I find it odd that so many want to "look the other way" when recruits and players are getting arrested, driving drunk, etc....I chose to discuss it even tho it seems to offend some?
Nobody has to click on the thread, do so at your own free will.

The Bob Knight topic (like the Eddie Sutton topic and the Tyreke Evans topic) were also discussed on almost every other college basketball board in the US, so how come you find it odd that it got discussed here?

I probably shouldnt get into this thread much, but I would have to say that my opinion is that most college coaches swear at their players either at practice or during games to get their points across.... I really have no problem with that as this is pretty much an understood relationship players have with their coaches. My problem with RMK is how he has handled himself off the court with his absolute power that he has had as a coach over the years and some of the methods he has used on his players.
