Knight on coaching again: 'I got nothing else to do'
Oh no. Don't get me going on how much I loathe Bobby Knight. :puke:

Come on. Who likes this man outside of Indiana?


INDIANAPOLIS -- Bob Knight, the winningest coach in Division I history, left the door ajar to a return to coaching college basketball during a wide-ranging television interview broadcast Wednesday night.

"I got nothing else to do. It would just depend on the circumstances," the former Army, Indiana and Texas Tech coach told host Mickey Maurer on "Mickey's Corner" on Indianapolis public TV station WFYI.

Knight, well-known for his crusty demeanor, peppered his answers with language that brought on several bleeps, but overall was laid-back during the hourlong interview taped Sept. 10, eight years to the day the Hall of Fame coach was fired from Indiana, which he led to three national championships in his 29 years there.

The interview didn't cover any of his replacements at Indiana or the current state of the program that is still reeling from former coach Kelvin Sampson's high-profile phone-call scandal and awaiting word on possible penalties from the NCAA.

When asked generally about recruiting and cheating in the NCAA, however, the 67-year-old Knight didn't mince words.


"In college basketball, if you get caught cheating, they should shoot you because you're too dumb to be alive," he said. :eyes:
