Classic Coach Knight

Tonight's huge IU-Purdue game has me nostalgic for the late 1980's-early 1990's, when Purdue and IU were both pretty good. It really has been since about 1994 when both teams were this good.

It also has me thinking about the greatest Bob Knight clip of all time. (It's full of profanity, so be warned.) It's from the 1991 season, when they actually had a good year. In the rant he's referring to the 8-10 record the year before when the team had the great freshman class led by Calbert Cheaney and Greg Graham (and the year after Jay Edwards led them to a Big Ten title when two of the other top teams were national champ Michigan and Final Four participant Illinois). Here's a bunch more background on it.

Enjoy.
