Knight has done it again. You would think after the 1,283,123 time he would learn not to touch one of his players. But for some reason this hot headed maniac has messed with another one of his kids.For those who haven’t heard, this is coming from Fox Sports website.
Texas Tech Coach Bobby Knight went after Michael Prince, forcefully pushing his chin upward and telling him to look him in the eye, during a time out late in the Red Raiders' 86-74 victory over Gardner Webb.
Athletic director Gerald Myers defended Knight on Tuesday, saying he did nothing wrong when "quickly lifted" Prince's chin. The president of the school's faculty senate James H. Smith said Knights action was not "physical abuse or violence." - Fox Sports
ESPN has run crazy with this story. If you've had a chance to watch TV you'll know it's all over sports center they keep replaying previous incidence that Knight has been involved and man are there a ton of them. It has been totally blown what has happened out of per portion in a way the only sports center could do it in. The reason why I said that is Michael Prince and his parents along with the school is backing the way Knight has handled himself and they support him fully.
My own opinion is that Knight should not be punished because everyone involved has no problem with what has taken place so the media hype is sickening and they should just shut up about it. Yes, Knight was wrong in touching that player. 15 to 20 years ago it wouldn’t have been a problem. But today it’s different. A coach cannot put there hands on one of there players period. It’s the only thing that Knight has done wrong this time around. Next time he better pray that the parent's are a lot like the Prince family.
So you’re asking me "Why are you writing a Blog about it if you don’t want to hear about it". The answer is simple. I want to work for ESPN!!

As one of the commentators for Texas Tech’s next game said, “Going to play for Bob Knight without having something like that happen is like signing up for the Marines and hoping to skip boot camp.”
yeah thats true. If you're going to go play for Bobby Knight you have to expect something like this is going to possibly happen to you.
Im not a very big Knight fan
