I do agree with him as to why do we have Kelly with the ball at 25 feet from the basket.  Is there any reason a post player needs to catch the ball out side of 15 feet?

If a post can draw a shot blocker out of the paint, it can be really good for your offense.

Yeah, and this is my biggest complaint about Bob or our fans for that matter, its like they don't watch our games.  Against equal or better talent, which one of our bigs is an effective back to the basket player? Seriously, Jamar is probably the best, but against the length of Baylor that's just stupid. All of them are better facing up, and they've only shown any amount of post skill when they are facing undertalented and smaller bigs. Plus, most of our bigs aren't terrible passers, especially when they have room and aren't trapped/pressured.

when not in transition i still think we still need to run our offense from the inside out though, although the effect is limited against the zone. 

btw, baylor is terribly coached, absolutely terrible.  just wanted to add that in.

he can be when he wants to be.  the impression i get from watching CK is that he allows his defender to dictate how effective he's going to be on offense on any given night. 

when it comes to low post back to the basket moves, jamar sets the gold standard.  if only he had the size of CK

Yep.  And Kelly is just as good, if not better, facing the basket than back to the basket. He simply is too inconsistent to trust as a back to the basket player IMO.

  This is not my problem.  I would rather see him freethrow line extended not at the 3 pt line.  If he is in the high post he has better angles to hit cutters and/or the low post.  If he is at the top of the key all he can do is pass to a guard or hand off.  It really limites our offense but then again there isn't really much of an offense there to begin with.  If he is on the wing it is a bit of a different story but I still don't see a reason for him to be that far away from the basket.

I like when he does this when the ball is still live and just stubbornly ignores all game action until he's done making his point. He's less of an announcer and more of a "Director's Commentary" bonus DVD feature.

More evidence of my thesis....Bob Knight does not actually watch any basketball except the one's he is paid to watch. There are no film preparations for him, as any good analyst would at least spend an afternoon doing. I bet Bob has not called an tOSU game this season, which is why he doesn't have a clue.

I do tend to agree with Bob about our disgusting zone offense. I get CK is a foul line, facing the basket kind of big but to have all 5 players at or above the FT line against a zone is  :eek:  Maybe it wasn't CK's fault, but his floating around the 3 pt line from time to time tells me he is the likely culprit.

By the way, calling Jamar Samuels the "gold standard" of back to the basket play pisses off any above average back to the basket player in the conference. Because he is our best back to the basket does not make him good at it. Kelvin Howell would be the best back to the basket player on this team.

He called for a "great effort" chant in lieu of booing, iirc. Remember when he and Brent were in the OOD to call the opening game of Jake's senior season? Was looking forward to Freddy Asprilla joining the band for another deep tourney run that season...

Same.  There are players who have stated that Bob has punched a player in the back of the head in pregame, broken a clipboard over a players head, choked a player, and I would assume dozens of other violent acts that were never reported due to his god status at IU.  That guy should have been removed from coaching a long time before he removed himself. 

Bob is a sad example of what is wrong with college sports and the misplaced value on winning over almost anything.

Like a poacher? Hadn't heard that one, deets?

There's stories of people who hunted with and/or guided Knight and said he didn't buy licenses, didn't adhere to bag limits.  He "accidentally" shot a dude while out grouse hunting.  There's incidents in Lubbock of him out dove hunting too close to people's houses and he put some bird pellets into a couple of people.  One accepted his apology that he swung too far on a bird and peppered her place and her livestock from a distance, no real harm.  Another dude said that either Knight or a companion intentionally peppered him with bird shot when the dude told them to get the hell away from his house while they were hunting dove.

The peppering people with pellets stories did happen, and he was cited and fined for the grouse hunting incident.  The other stories about no licenses, not adhering to bag limits are more anecdotal.  He would also get pissy if he thought someone fired on "his bird" left a dude behind in South Dakota because he thought the dude shot "his" rooster.

How great of a man do you have to be before it doesn't matter if you are a good man?

If you are that great, why can't you also be good?  Seems like someone who is nearly always the smartest in the room would understand how to inflict your leadership on others without abuse.  Seems like that is what an actual great man should be.

He used people as his tools.  The tools that behaved, were useful to their full extent, and also benefited all seem to like him.  That is a filter system if there ever was one. 

Being abusive doesn't mean you are abusive in everything or care about other interests.  He held futures in his hands.  Futures that would be much harder to actualize if someone decided not to take the abuse.  There is a selection bias in listening to those who were successful in spite of the abuse.
