Pat Knight: Seems very unprofessional

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Doesn't wear a suit, doesn't stand up for 90% of the game... he is wearing the same thing and acting the same as all of the assistant coaches... I thought coaches had to wear suits? Or is it stated in the contract with the school?

[jjgold]

Bobby Knight use to wear a sweater a lot

He will be out of coaching in a few years

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I could see another school like Lamar giving him a hire based on the name once they get rid of him.

[antifoil]

yeah he won't be at lamar long. he will get a BCS school job pretty soon after the way got this team to play winning basketball after they were so terrible last year.

they didn't even make their conference tourney last year and it is the exact same players.

[playersonly69]

knight wore the same thing all season long

[RudyRuetigger]

he is a hamburger

[ebbearsfb1]

Because coaching in a suit makes you a better coach?

[antifoil]

i wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get interviewed for the ililnois job.

Illinois is above him at this point I'd say. Illinois is the top open job in the country if Texas/UCLA do not become available.

[sjm5122]

Really? so he should wear what? a plaid suit ,or maybe a bright orange suit like Bruce Weber?

syracuse?

[JerseyRobby]

If you're a bad ass like Bob Huggins you can wear a tracksuit

Just saying, I've never seen a coach in an important game send 90% of the game sitting back with his back against his chair.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

syracuse?

Is Syracuse officially going to be available? Last story I read about that says 'no plans to retire anytime soon.'

[sjm5122]

I actually like the fact that he is composed, obviously didn't work out so well for his team tonight. But if you're coach looks like he is gonna have a heart attack every bucket, who do you remain composed as a player?

[HoulihansTX]

I thought you were going to mention his press conference when he undressed his player on TV. Neverthless, you stress an irrelevant topic like fashion. Yep Coach K, 3 titles and its was all due to the expensive suits he wears.

Composed seemed to work for Phil Jackson in the NBA... but most good college coaches are animate and I think there is a reason for that.

That being said, even though his tirade on his players seemed to work, I still think it was unprofessional.

When you look to the sidelines and see 4 assistant coaches, all of them in the same shirt and all sitting down, it doesn't look good.

Maybe this was more focused on by me because his team, which was much more athletic, got pounded by a bunch of white boys.

[crustyme]

stfu retard.

[BigDofBA]

He sucks.

He is only coaching because of his daddy.

I certainly agree there is a time to rip your player(s) a new one, especially with the kind of ego's you get at the top level. But the best coaches rarely flip out on their players, izzo, coach k come to mind, they pick their spots.

Some of those kids they are coaching are dumber than you can imagine. Sometimes screaming is necessary.

If I was a Lamar fan, I wouldn't have much faith in Knight though watching him lean back in his chair while his team gets dominated. I'm hard on coaches though, Weber's garbage has me bitter.

Safe to say texas tech is one of the worst jobs in thr country. Even bob knight couldnt turn it around, but he had good years. Random thought

He won 138 games and had the highest winnin percentage in school history.

Of course he did take over in 2001 when you were like 12.

So exactly why were they falling apart in his final years? Success isnt sustainable there genius

Did I ever say it was? Learn how to read and quit trying to act like you're smart.

You said he couldn't turn it around.

Having the highest winning percentage in school history, winning 20 games a year, and being in the tourney every other year isn't turning it around?

You dont know half as much as you think you do.

[TPowell]

So did john calipari turn around umass even tho he went to a final 4? When he left, the job was only marginally better than when he arrived even tho he was the best to ever coach

How old were you when Calipari coached there? 5 years old?

I never said Tech was a great job. All I was saying was that Knight was sucessful there do it is possible.

[Cuse0323]

syracuse?

[Snolan860]

This.

Jimmy is not going anywhere...but if he did - Mike Hopkins has already been named his successor.

Don't you have to sleep with the ball boys to be considered for
the Syracuse coaching job???

[BiffTFinancial]

If you're a fat ass like Bob Huggins you can wear a tracksuit

fixed it for you.

[EaglesPhan36]

I thought coaches had to wear suits?

You're f-ing kidding right? Do you watch college basketball?

[Jayvegas420]

Phil Jackson was composed because he didn't have to coach, he just had to manage egos.
Bobby Knight was one of the scariest men in a sweater or in a suit.
When you throw chairs & players around like he did, the only required apparel was a suit of armour for the players!
BTW how much blame over the Melo fiasco is Jimmy responsible for?
