Didn't mean to hurt your feelings, but humor based on truth hurts sometimes if you lack objectivity.

Relax. You’re being too serious mate.
Wouldn’t call myself a fan. That would insinuate I care about a specific team.

Bo (with astonished look on his face, arms outstretched in the "Hallelujah" stance, prancing all around) Ryan. Absolutely.
Yours is the common description of the event, but in fact Knight did not pull the team off the floor.
What happened then? Why does this UPI state differently? Why does Bob Knight contradict you?

'As far as taking the team off the floor after I was ejected, there are sometimes things I wish I could do over again and that was one of them, because of the involvement of our fans in the game,' Knight said.
I remember a terribly officiated game with obvious missed calls.

Interesting reporting. I’d love to read the counterpoint eyewitness accounts. Fascinating.What happened then? Why does this UPI state differently? Why does Bob Knight contradict you?

IU was getting their ass beaten by the Soviets and there were a number of things they did that could have been called. Knight was surly.What happened then? Why does this UPI state differently? Why does Bob Knight contradict you?

I sat right....and I mean right behind the scorer and could hear almost every word between the scorers, Knight and Burr.
Bottom line is that Knight got DQ'd but slumped in his chair and refused to leave which led to a forfeit and conclusion of the game. Crabb says..."that concludes today's con-test...please drive carefully". Knight never pulled the team off the floor...but the end result was the same and that is how it was reported and still remembered.
Subtle difference, but it is what happened. One of several Knight "stories" that have been mistold.
You remember it differently in 2023 than RMK remembered it contemporaneously.
Not Edwards. Sure, he made some poor life choices, but he was never a d-bag on the court.
To me, a hoops d-bag is someone every other program hates because he's a god damn gnat who gets under everyone's skin. As mentioned, guys like Cardinal and Miller are first-teamers. Same with Davison. As for IU players, Fife and XJ are good candidates.
Outside of the B1G, Wojciechowski, Hurley, and Laettner come to mind. Hell, nearly every white guy who played for Coach K should at least be Honorable Mention.
Nope. Nothing I report is in conflict with anything he said. The end result is the same but he never waved the team off the floor when there was still a game going on.
The forfeit drive that. *drove
Hope this helps
“As far as taking the team off the floor after I was ejected, there are sometimes things I wish I could do over again and that was one of them, because of the involvement of our fans in the game,” Knight said
No quite how you remember it in 2023, but I’m sure RMK was wrong the day after.
I am giving a PUke fan a lot more daylight than I should but when he refused to leave, the forfeit happened. The game was over.
He could have changed it all by leaving when Burr DQ’d him. He clearly regretted that.
Have you guys found a back court yet?
That’s not what RMK said. He said this:
“As far as taking the team off the floor after I was ejected, there are sometimes things I wish I could do over again and that was one of them, because of the involvement of our fans in the game,” Knight said
The victim act got stale late in the season. I suspect he will dial that back next season.
One of you is wrong, and the other guy is the guy who pulled his team off the court, so …
