    I think its because Bobby Knight is a violent man, examples:

    1) If I remember right he grabbed a kid by his throat.
    2) He's been known to throw chairs.
    3) He's also good at hitting tables.

    I think if we had Curly Hallman as a basketball coach, Knight could still kiss my ass. For me, that is one guy whose knowledge and accomplishments as a coach will never outweigh his character deficiencies. And I don't care that he has never been busted for ncaa violations either. He is still a bully, and I would love to personally shove his face in.

    And oh yeah, we already have a pretty impressive coach too. Suck it knight...

    I met Bob Knight once when I was about 8. He was very nice to me. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him and his record, but his day is done.

    In Trent Johnson we have a guy who can bring LSU the stability and surpass the sucess it had under Dale Brown's tenure.

    Knight is kinda like a Chinese buffet, early on it looks good, but as time passes and it just sits there it starts to look like it needs to be thrown out. Knight is at the, needs to be thrown out part of his career.

    Not really interested in a 3 time retread past his prime. CTJ is doing a great job and has the future looking bright.
