By attacking his old bosses, Bob Knight is showing he doesn't know who the real enemy is. Three national championships is great, but if the university is not powerful enough, outside of Indiana, to combat the bad publicity he was attracting. It's unfortunate, because it was clearly a gang-bang. The more I see of Bob Knight, the more I like him. When you watch him talk, you get the sense that what you see is what you get.
Some people wear their political correctness on their sleeve.
Bob Knight wears his true self on his sleeve. It's odd that IU waited until the incoming recruiting class began the year before committing the sin. I see this as symptomatic of the liberal Establishment's effort over the past three decades to label as pathological and then do away with whatever overt manifestations of masculinity are found in American public life. Twenty years ago colorful people were not in quite as much danger of offending the new feminized value-regime as they are today. I don't really care about sports one way or the other, but Knight seems to me like the kind of guy who makes life a little more interesting.
