Bob Knight has never been shy about his disdain for the media, unless they were part of his lackey crew who said what he wanted to hear, of course.
That's why it's very interesting to see that he has now joined our elite ranks by taking a studio job with ESPN for the duration of the NCAA Tournament. Watch any clip on YouTube related to Knight and the media and he is typically berating someone for a stupid comment or question. I will admit that some of the things he says are highly amusing because of the level of unintentional comedy, but most of them are boorish and have bully-type tactics as their motivation.
Another thing about Knight is that he loves to swear. I'm kind of wondering what the over-under will be until he drops a cuss word on live TV. Does Vegas have a line on that yet?
