Bobby Knight

Bobby Knight
Former legendary college basketball coach (from that university south of here)
Since this is the great state of Indiana…
If you know college basketball, you know Bobby Knight

And now, without further adieu, the next installment of the Bobby Knight saga…

Bobby was out with his buddy, Bob “Bubba” Curtis, in southern Texas hunting doves.
A local resident approached Knight and his hunting partner at their parked pick-up truck to complain about the stray bird shot hitting the roof of his home. Immediately, Knight took the defensive and denied any responsibility…
“Wasn’t us”
“I didn’t shoot once in that direction”
The homeowner didn’t buy it and asked Knight to at the very least move down away from his home. To which, Knight aggressively responded…
“I shouldn’t have to move down, in fact, I ain’t moving down until you ask us politely”
Time out…
Bobby Knight lecturing someone on manners?
Unbelievable…
Time in…
What ensued was a classic Texas shoot em’ up, only this clash was fought with words.
Knight and the homeowner went back and forth shouting insults until the conflict eventually dissolved…
I chose to discuss this incident for mainly 2 reasons.
1.) I thought it was hilarious- Bobby being Bobby
2.) At the same time, it wasn’t so hilarious. My immediate reaction was, what can Texas Tech (Knight’s current employee) think about this? After all, he is the man who is in charge of all those young men on the basketball court. Some role model…
Talk about an embarrassment to the university. Can u imagine the press conference when Texas Tech administration will have to answer questions?
In the end, whether right or wrong, nothing probably will be done about it.
After all, like I said, it was just Bobby being Bobby…
