A coworker just told me saw David Kaplan interviewing Bobby Knight on CSN Chicago and the topic of Bobby coaching came up. Bobby said to tell him where and what the situation is and he'd consider it. Coworker said his response was that, "I've got you coaching in Peoria next season." Anybody see or hear this?

Who said that? David Kaplan?

I don't believe it will happen.

And he'd immediately be the best coach in the league.

was he the best coach in the last league he coached in? Since he went to Texas Tech most of the Big 12 have hired away new coaches from mid-majors or hired guys who weren't even coaching college basketball - who are still there and doing better than the state he left Texas Tech in... (Texas A&M, Mizzou, Colo, Nebraska, Baylor, OU, OSU, K-State, Iowa State)
I'm just sayin'...maybe once long ago......

Are you really suggesting the man with more wins than anyone in men's DI college basketball history (until Coach K passes him - where did Coach K start...) isn't or wasn't better than Mark Turgeon, Mike Anderson, Scott Drew, Jeff Capel, Frank Martin, Greg McDermott and Tad Boyle?

Come on, T.

Bob Knight has forgotten more about basketball than those guys will ever know.

His numbers speak for themselves.

T. Once again you are right...Many years ago BK was a very productive coach (if you don't mind your players being kicked, choked, etc). However, his last several years at Tech were poor. His recruiting had slipped considerably and he was no longer a winner. Why would we want him? To put butts in the seats that someone suggested. That would get old as the win-loss percentage dropped. Forget BK...Who wants him?????
 
OK, lets all give Bobby Knight his due. He is a Hall of Fame coach. But his day has come and gone. He is not a candidate here, and that is good. Let's concentrate on the potential candidates.

If you hire a guy like that, you step out of the way. :)

Honestly, I didn't see this, was just wondering if someone else did...

I figure there's next to zero chance he coaches at BU, but I'd welcome him if he did... And apparently Kaplan at least made the idea a possibility to him.

Poor only by the standards he set.

I think every BU fan would take four NCAA trips, including a S16 and another NCAA win in six seasons.

I agree with DC - he's not a candidate here.
 
Tyler Durden -- I have already answered your question in the post you apparently read but missed it...

maybe once long ago...

Hey -- Willie Mays is still alive and not playing for anyone -- should the Cubs sign him...after all he has more hits and homers than the guy who the Cubs have currently! ;)

It was rhetorical.

We disagree and that's ok.

You would "welcome him if he did?" It doesn't matter to you that he has not been a winner for years? It doesn't matter to you that he abuses his players (and his fans). It doesn't matter to you that he was never known as a particularly good recruiter. It doesn't matter to you that the "butts in the seats" would dwindle as the losses continued? I just don't get it. As Da Coach said, his days are long gone as a productive coach.Pleaseeeee......??

LOL Da Coach..

We both know it aint gonna happen..but it would be a statement hire :)
 
I am one who does not like Bob Knight -- I have little respect for his bullying and obnoxious, in your face ways...
so...I will answer your question B4L -- if he were hired I would do my very best to support him unconditionally -- as I always have and always will with every coach, assistant, player, and Athletic Department personnel I have ever seen or known at Bradley.
And I'll bet Mr. Knight would be very happy with that although I can guarantee our most recent coach saw and heard some comments by so-called fans that were not well accepted...
...so if fans not liking, supporting, or tolerating their coach is an issue or concern for you...I can PM you plenty of links to current posters who appear to have violated your standards, but I am definitely not one of them.
Again -- until those on the Hilltop tell me I am not being a good fan, then I could care less what anyone else thinks

Did I miss someone calling you not a good fan???

This board is crazytown these days.

some have equated fans who are upset at Jim Les' firing as = to NOT supporting certain administrative personnel who fired him, thus not being a good fan.
