Today Bob Knight resigned as head basketball coach at Texas Tech. Knight is the relentlessly bullying, supremely self-centered basketball coach who made his national reputation for abusing players and winning championships at Indiana University.
I was actually a camper at a Bobby Knight camp at West Point when he was the Army coach in 1970. Even though I was a callow high school sophomore, I could still tell what a jerk he was!
The sports world will miss Bob Knight about as much as the world of politics is going to miss Dick Cheney.

Awwww!! Did you get shoved into your locker by the basketball players at your high school, Caric?
LOL!!
Not quite right there. I played basketball, was a cheap-shotting linebacker in football, and a shotputter in track. There wasn't any jock-bullying that I knew of when I was in high school. If there had, it's sad to say that I probably would have been on the bullying side.
