Man had an eye for talent, said MJ was the best basketball player he ever saw before he stepped foot on an nba court

Won multiple chips

Coached HOFers

He also said that Steph Curry was legit and the best passer in his draft class before he went to Golden State

Amazing coach but one of the worst people associated with college basketball since Adolph Rupp croaked.

This. Tremendous sports personality as well but man, the guy was racist af

 

[JasoRockStar]

Another racist, ungrateful white coach that made his career off of black athletes is dead?


fukk him and every other coach like him. Hopefully Tommy Tuberville or Lou Holtz is next.


Rest in piss and I hope his death was painful.

He was a Trump-supporter too. His whole life was built off the success of black men and he shows his gratefulness by supporting a candidate that constantly linked us with criminality.

The fact that a woman of stature and a track record in Chicago like Mary Thomas let this man take her son always intrigued me. I don't get it but she trusted him.

So If SHE let HIM have her kid...I dunno. He obviously was a hard nosed arrogant piece of shyt clown at times and was 100% one of the best to ever do it, But there was also obviously a side that we never got to see as well. Zeke and many of his black players swore by dude so ....


Hope he got right with man upstairs for his foolishness

He didn’t just say draft class

He said he had ever seen.

This thread should be interesting lol


RIP

6 pages in and it's split down the middle.....with some bilateral responses

"RIP to a great leader and coach, though he was also a racist, crude POS"

 

[pete clemenza]

All of his former players loved him. Supposedly he looked for them whether they made the NBA or not. A major assh*le but one of the greats nevertheless.

RIP

COACH KNIGHT WAS WITH THE shytS

Isiah Thomas says his brother and Bob Knight nearly got into fight over KKK comment

Isiah Thomas, the former NBA and Indiana University star point guard, recently was a guest on The Pivot Podcast and spoke about a number of basketball greats, including Bobby Knight and Larry Bird.

Thomas, who played two seasons for Knight at IU, told a number of stories for over an hour, including one about a fight that nearly took place on a recruiting trip between the coach and Thomas' brother.

"My brother asked Coach Knight, he said, 'Going down to Indiana, you have a lot of the (Ku Klux) Klan in Indiana. If something jump off ... who's going to take care of (Isiah)?' I thought this was a great answer by Coach Knight but my brother didn't like it. Coach Knight leaned back and he said, 'Well, if we're winning, they're going to look out for him.'"
Thomas' brother apparently did not like that answer, which led to Knight suggesting the two men take the argument outside.

"Coach Knight stood up, took off his coat, started rolling up his sleeves and the whole house was like, 'No, no no! We can't fight!'" Thomas said. "Then everybody is heated, really heated. You look over there again and my mom is sitting there. I was like, 'She likes (Knight)​
