Bob Knight on 60 Minutes

No, I think the once upon a time something was more relevant with "When you look towards the light, the shadows of Knight fall behind".

"G-L-O-R-I-A, she come around 'bout midnight"?

Yeah, yeah…that’s the one. Loved me those Chicago burb’s rock houses in the small bars and basements in the day. Wayne’s World before Mike Meyers’ time.

I found the PU at IU game from ‘81. at AH. Above I had stated “both coaches had T’s in the first 5 minutes.” Well, I was technically correct, but in fact, the T’s actually happened in the first TWO MINUTES!! Knight got one, then Keady got 2…ALL IN THE FIRST 2 MINUTES!! Gotta love Big 10 hoops in the 80’s. Wonder if that’s ever happened in a game before or since??

LOL. No, just no.

Correct, in part. There was some kind of issue away away from the ball, IIRC between Barnes and Isiah that RMK wasn’t happy about. I think both coaches had T’s within the first 5 minutes of the game!!

This was back in the day when the BT schedule basically flipped…your 8th game opponent (PU in this case) was then your 10th game opponent (You also closed the season against the same team you opened the BT schedule with, games 1 and 18).

So IU and PU played consecutive Saturdays. IU led most of the 1st game at Mackey, only to blow it in the last 5 minutes. The IU bench was not happy with the treatment they had gotten from the fans behind them in WL and RMK told King as much after the game up there. Apparently coach wasn’t happy with King’s lack of concern.

So game 2 at AH, the next Saturday, was heated start to finish!! Thus the early T’s. Happy with the game 2 win and in a playful mood, Coach said something like “I invited Purdue’s George King on to give their point of view….” then “Jack” made his memorable appearance.

Barnes had thrown a sucker punch at IT and IT retaliated. PU grads like to flip that script but the video was clear that Barnes was the perp which was not unusual.

During the game at pu, there were vulgar chants about Bob's wife Nancy and lots of debris thrown at the bench. George King did nothing about it and thus Bob invited him on his show to discuss...leading to the hilarious portrayal of George King on the show.

Classic Knight and spot on.
