This too, shall pass. I really feel sorry for Bobby to have to put up with that crap. Granted, he did some things to bring alot of it on himself, but, IMHO that's water under the bridge. To me it speaks volumes about his character to still be coaching and teaching at the level he is, even while he has to exist under the "When will Bobby blow up again?" microscope that is, in my opinion, undeserved.

Knight has had plenty of dark days

[/FONT] They say that Bob Knight is an angry man. I say that Bob Knight is an anguished man who, on several hundred occasions, has shown anger. Either way, Knight, 66, is about to surpass Dean Smith's 879 victories to become the winningest college basketball coach in history.
Here is a partial list of Knight's reported and unreported transgressions:
1962: Trips guidance counselor in hallway while coaching Cuyahoga Falls (Ohio) High School. County school board declines action; Knight praises "good no-call."
1974: Pulls gun on Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall with 6:28 left in game. Hall, initially outraged, apologizes afterward when Knight shows him gun had only one bullet in chamber.
1974: Meets with 17-year-old Larry Bird on Indiana campus at 4:16 p.m. Bird sprints off-campus and arrives at Indiana State on foot at 4:19 p.m.
1975: Breaks top scorer Scott May's right arm at halftime vs. Purdue, then convinces him to play second half to display "toughness."
1978: Attacks and knocks out Indiana's sports information director during an otherwise non-physical disagreement over sports information.
1979: Arrested for assaulting police officer at Pan American Games in Puerto Rico. "If hitting a cop in a third-rate island nation is an issue," Knight famously says, "then I'm visiting the wrong country."
1981: Stuffs LSU fan into garbage can at hotel. Knight says he would've thrown him into the parking lot but did not want to violate stringent municipal no-littering laws.
1982: Yells maniacally at ESPN's Dick Vitale, but, as luck would have it, at that very moment Vitale is also yelling maniacally and does not hear a word that Knight says.
1985: Kicks megaphone during Illinois game. Megaphone is removed from arena immediately.
1985: Tosses chair across court during Purdue game because he's tired of sitting in it. Suspended one game.
1993: Kicks at his son Pat during a victory over Notre Dame and responds to booing fans with a Redd Foxx impersonation. Suspended for one game.
1993: Disgusted by team's 22 turnovers in a road loss to Illinois, robs a string of convenience marts in tri-state area. Suspended for one game.
1994: Bangs fist on scorer's table vs. Ohio State after rereading Chapter 17 of "A Season on the Brink."
1994: While viewing "Hoosiers" in a Bloomington, Ind., theater, stomps on patron two rows behind him who is talking during crucial town hall meeting to decide Coach Dale's fate.
1994: Accidentally head-butts Sherron Wilkerson while screaming at him on bench; says he only meant to scratch his eyes out.
1997: Accidentally chokes Neil Reed in practice while demonstrating proper defensive footwork.
1999: Accidentally throws assistant Ron Felling out of a chair, then - after allowing Felling back onto the chair - fires him.
1999: Throws a vase at a university secretary; says he was aiming for the university president.
1999: Allegedly chokes man at a restaurant who beats Knight to the kitchen's last order of cheddar 'n' chives potato skins.
2000: Accidentally grabs, curses and lectures student who had addressed the coach, "Hey, what's up Knight?"
2000: Heaves ESPN's Jeremy Schaap into Hudson River after Schaap asks about alleged 1947 dodge-ball incident.
2004: Has loud spat with Texas Tech chancellor David Smith at a grocery store near the frozen-food aisle. Smith leaves with no groceries.
2005: During "Knight School" taping, slugs ESPN makeup artist who tries to apply blush to his left cheek and knees ESPN audio engineer who asks for a second take of profanity-laced tirade.
2005: Cracks open the head of a mannequin with a baseball bat while shopping at Sports Authority. Charges dismissed after he explains he mistook the mannequin for a former Big Ten referee.
2006: Improves Michael Prince's chin posture.

Knight wins to tie Rupp, just 3 behind the Dean
December 7, 2006
Bob Knight reflected back on his own playing days after his latest coaching milestone, summing up his thoughts as only he can. Knight tied legendary Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp for second place on the career victory list Wednesday night when Texas Tech beat Louisiana Tech 66-59 in Ruston, La.
The 66-year-old Knight's 876th victory moved him within three of tying former North Carolina coach Dean Smith for the most in Division I history.
When the final buzzer sounded, Knight quickly walked over to shake hands with Louisiana Tech coach Keith Richard, then headed off the court with his head down.
''The thing I remember about Adolph Rupp is that one time I scored seven points against the ornery son of a bitch to help beat him,'' Knight said, referring to Ohio State's 87-74 victory over the Wildcats in the 1961 NCAA tournament. ''That's a lot bigger in my memory than this.''
Jarrius Jackson scored 21 points to lead Texas Tech (7-3).

Congrats on the record, Coach.
And thanks for getting it done today, so ESPN can move on to another story.
