Coach Bobby Knight, a look back on his playing and coaching career.

Jeremy Schaap look back on the playing and coaching career of Coach Bobby Knight.

[@paulst.laurent3417]

Knight straight up killed him when he said he’s got a long way to go to be as good as his dad

[@noahwhyde6588]

He was 100% right. Schapp was just being a douchey journalist trying to bait him. Interrupting him on purpose

[@bricktop414]

With the return of coach Knight to assembly hall, it goes to show that he is and will forever be the gawd damn general..he is forever loved by IU fans

[@dart5425]

@rockit730 All you probably know about him is what was shown in this biased 12 minute video. He took Indiana kids no one knew and developed and coached them to Final Fours. Greatest of all time.

[@mikewest8836]

It appeared to me that Jeremy wanted to get in as many zinger questions as he could without waiting for an answer he’s perfect for a 2020 reporter he was just ahead of his time.

[@turdferguson7504]

His dad got him the job and he wanted to use Knight to build his boba fides. Knight just called him on it.

[@Heres_Johnny.]

Schaap was disrespectful in his interview of Coach Knight. Bobby was right. Schaap wouldn’t shut up and listen. A good interviewer listens first.

[@Lokh66]

John Frakes true

[@chuckinhouston9952]

John Frakes Agreed. I’m surprised the old man stood up for his boy, who did an amateurish job in the interview. The kid would be a greeter at WMT if not for his dad

[@chuckinhouston9952]

les antoine Little Jeremy is probably gay

[@patrickgray5633]

Schapp like many other interviewing people SHUT up & let Bobby talk.

[@milesmccoy2976]

The Man. The Myth. The FUCKING LEGEND.

[@edwardclement102]

Bobby had the discipline and that is what kids are many times missing today, and no one is perfect....

[@jonaldblip_]

The players need to teach their coaches about life and about how to have self-discipline. There's more that the coaches could learn from their players, than they could teach to their players. :D

[@turdferguson7504]

@@jonaldblip_ Yeah, that’s how it works. Students instructing teachers. Downright biblical!

[@marktaflinger6348]

Jeremy Schaap's work makes one really miss Dick Schaap.

[@thejohnlocke]

He did interrupt Knight - more than once. That is one of the most annoying things when interviews take place.

[@joenehama2731]

I am not a knight fan, but in this case schaap was rude, unprofessional and did not give booby a chance to respond

[@JQ1115]

Coach has anger issues. Still love him. Schapp was a little weasel and is incredibly annoying, he deserved criticism, he was obviously compulsively nervous in this interview. Really bad job. Wasn't up to the task.

[@brycelambley1122]

When he was at Texas Tech, one of his players was distant relation of my then-wife's and we were fortunate to get seats right behind the Red Raider bench when they played Nebraska here in Lincoln one year. I was shocked and embarrassed at the way some (not all) of our Nebraska fans treated him. He was harassed from the time he walked onto the floor until the game was over. Loud and mean-spirited stuff all night long. I can't imagine coaching under such circumstances and having to put up with that without reacting. I wish him well. P.S. Schaap was very disrespectful in this interview; too many journalists want to be in or dictate the story, instead of being journalists and reporting the story. We're seeing that on steroids with the MSM now.

[@quentina7563]

Lol, "MSM", eh? What are you, a Trump snowflake?

[@turdferguson7504]

Great story. I feel as the media goaded him so much and he just wouldn’t bow down. I think they made it their mission to take him down and they did.

[@rocknroll7065]

Knight didn't make it personal with Jeremy Schaap

[@patrickgray5633]

I side with Coach Knight we are soft in this world Knight came from era where you worked your ass off & weren't given things.

[@ZiggyMercury]

Well, I have nothing against softness, but the truth is the Kinght's behavior suggests that if anyone is soft here, it's him. He seems to be very thin-skinned. A confident person wouldn't get this angered, this keen on getting praise. A confident person won't shy away from criticism, in part because he'd be sure that he's right and the critic is wrong. An insecure person, on the other hand, would walk away on an interview because he felt the interviewer interrupted his answers too often or something like that.

[@patrickgray5633]

@@ZiggyMercury what was Vince Lombardi, Woody Hayes, Bear Bryant, Coach K????? They yelled & went nuts like Knight does if you think Bob Knight wasn't confident in what he did that's just funny cause he was the best in his profession.

[@mangoglounge7977]

Patrick Gray Knight was so tough that he was scared to coach in the NBA.

[@subsubsubsub5413]

1976 32-0 undefeated season still holds

[@connorreutter166]

IU needs Bob now!

[@joshuarockhold5956]

He coached young men just like the military trains them! How do you make young men that know everything at times listen and carry out how you want it done! Not perfect but effective! Life is tough and life lessons are even tougher

[@Lokh66]

Bobby rules

[@biggatorcaesar]

Schaaps problem is he tried to interview Knight like he was a Psychiatrist and Knight was his patient! what arrogance from this little shill!

[@garycombs5721]

The wrong person needed to apologize. This interviewer, who is trying to make a name for himself, is no Larry King.

[@craigkelm180]

Bob Knight is a Winner!!

[@indianacreekwalker4474]

Let the man talk. How hard is it to let Coach talk. once again this isn't about the interviewer. You asked the man to answer your questions. Let him talk.

[@camerondavidson7960]

I agree

[@arlichar11]

as i see this now as a 40 year old, its so odd that it was something announced at press conference, like normaly would just be beteen boss and employee,,and also understand they just wanted him out and took the oppurtunity...

[@shelly4009]

BK was the greatest basketball 🏀 coach ever !

Coach Knight doesn’t owe Jeremy Schapp anything. Schapp did interrupt coach Knight many times.

[@timdarr8008]

If you can put aside his arrogance, yelling, colorful language, pushing and choking players & the kind words that he always would say to the news media........Hell he is not such a bad guy!!!!!!!!!

[@acnicodemus4734]

Knight should've not interviewed for ESPN.

[@stocksforextrading5834]

They played good ball under coach, IU has a good chance to returning to glory since IU is in great basketball state just need right coach

[@benmiddleton9984]

RIP coach knight

[@nvsazonov3896]

The interviewer deliberately agitated him

[@jdpayne33]

Jeremy reminds me of the way they interviewed President Trump.

[@kingtyomama6564]

This is a tough interview. Knight drones on and on with his answers and Jeremy Schaap was interrupting.

[@TheCashmanwins]

I am listening to hear Knight, not Schaap. Let him drone. You'll learn more listening to Knight than lil Jeremy

[@molonlabe9602]

Ef media people who ask you questions and don't let you answer or complain about your answer. I just tell people like that...if you don't like my answers, don't ask me questions.

[@georgeoneal5644]

How would Mr. Knight respond if someone put their hands on him in anger? The golden rule applies even to those in authority.

[@dougsnyder5904]

Knight was the ultimate hypocrite, “do as I say, not as I do” Hanging banners let him do that

[@turdferguson7504]

Schnapps was rude and unprofessional in that interview. His dad was put in a bad situation, but truthfully coach knights sons were constantly under unfair scrutiny.

[@turdferguson7504]

Myles Brand….who hired him?

Coach Knight was a bully. He could not coach NBA players they would have kick his ass.

[@alejandrohazera7895]

Watching this years later, Jeremy did interrupt him... consistently. Knight kept trying to give the background for answers, but Jeremy would interrupt. Jeremy did not seem to want to listen, but only get on to the next question. Compare this with the interview with Larry King interview, which was of much higher quality. Pro vs. amateur.

[@joshwalker2580]
