kapkomet Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 This from Dan Wetzel - who is doing a traveling diary for the college basketball preseason on Yahoo!. I thought this was pretty damn classic Bob Knight, and funny to boot. Bob Knight said we could come to dinner with him on Wednesday Night at Churrascaria Plataforma, one of those Brazilian steakhouses where they keep hauling out a panoply of savory meats. Anyway, he said he wouldn't pay for us because buying a meal for a sportswriter might affect his chances of getting into heaven. "I don't want to have to answer for that one with St. Peter," he said. Not interested in ensuring Knight's eternal damnation (a proposition some other sports writers certainly would have gone for) we offered to pick up the bill. "Well, I am bringing a couple guys," he said. We boldly said no problem. We'll pay for everyone. Then the team bus, with Tech's 30-strong traveling party, pulled up. "What do you think of my guys?" Knight laughed as an endless line filed into the place. Remember that this is $40 a plate. LMAO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapkomet Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 I think he knows when to be an ass and when not to be. Last night was a learning experience. Period. And he knows it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palehosefan Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 He has his upside's and downsides. He instills discipline and makes his players actually be student athletes. But he also is an ass. I have to say I like him though, but its probably because I have a temper also. I can understand why people still don't like him.
