My 2 cents. Our season is so bad the most interesting thing on our board is a fight between two teams we hate and never seem to win against. Howard was definitely in the wrong I mean Bob knight lost his cool all the time and didn't do anything that ridiculous lol

Choking one of your own players, head butting one of your players, kicking your own son. I watched him flip Purdue Person Vitale over once, now that one was Dickie V's fault he jumped on Knight's back surprising him. But Knight did a lot of bad things.

You forgot defecating in the middle of the locker room at half time

I don’t know how many minorities are actually on this board. I’m one of them and I only speak about myself. For me personally even with graduate degrees and an MBA from UNC/IU and even being financially well off your aware of it 24/7. It’s not always right at ya like a KKK member out to get you but it’s constantly there. There really is no right or wrong, it’s just always there and something I always have to be aware of. When people here say “watch it be about race” I kind of roll my eyes a bit because I just don’t think people get it. As a minority, I always have to think about my surroundings and how to converse with people. It’s “watch it be about race” because as a minority your taught to always know your surroundings and to think about how to engage with people.  As a minority, I have to ask myself the way Gard grabbed Howard, would have he done that to Izzo or Painter? It’s not fair to maybe ask that question but because we live in that world we constantly have to ask that question. Just my point of view and I’m closed on this particular topic.     

I'd say he wouldn't do it to Painter or Izzo because those two are kind of the "old dudes" of the conference. By far the longest tenured of any coaches I believe. All of this stupidity has literally zero to do with race. Not a thing. But people will continue pushing that crap narrative. Whether anyone likes it or not, Gard didn't throw as punch or slap thing or whatever Howard was trying to do and Howard has already had an incident once. I don't remember Gard having any similar incidents with other coaches. Howard just still acts like an NBA player where everyone else is wrong and he's right. Up to the Big Ten to take care of it. That goes for Howard and Gard. Along with Gards inability to control the dirty play of his players. There definitely seemed more to it all than just coach mad at coach. A lot seemed to have boiled over outside of that.

1.  Neil Reed shouldn't have walked into his hand

2.  Sherron Wilkerson's head shouldn't have been there

3.  Who doesn't want to?

4.  He just showed them toilet paper.  Not the full poop.

[Josh 12,621]

I'd also like to point out that Bob Knight did all of these alleged things to his own players.  These players knew who he was when they signed up to play for him.  If any of them said they were surprised that any of these alleged incidents occurred, then they're lying.  They all knew what they voluntarily signed up for.

Nobody on other teams signed up for what Howard or Gard did.

That would have inspired me..........................................to leave the locker room.

Which timeout upset Juwan Howard more?

a)  Greg Gard's

b)  Chris Webber's

You owe me a keyboard.  Now that's funny, right there.  :)

Also, do away with the handshake lines. This isn't youth sports. It's a highly competitive game and emotions run high, no reason for shaking hands

Baloney.  Time to be a man and congratulate your opponent.  Boxers literally beat the crap out of each other, and usually give a handshake at the end.

Does IU show up tonight? I have DraftKings open and wondering

Right, let's not call it a "punch."  It was some sort of girliman slap.  

But rather than fire, suspend, etc. treat them like the babies that they are.  Just put the two the them at center court, shirts off, and wiffle ball bats in hand.  They can take turns smacking each other with plastic bats (no head shots) and all the money goes to charity.  What a way to start off the Big 10 Tourney.

Lol we will never agree on this so I won't bother. Just saying imo what I saw yesterday was unprofessional. Only a few players ever talked poorly of knight.

Knights tactics and actions were not something that ages well. He was on a thin rope in the years leading up to his firing. Times were changing and he wasnt. 

that said, I cannot recall in the modern era a head d-1 basketball coach punching someone after a game. Pretty unprecedented and hopefully the last time we see that.

Definitely.  He'd do a quick bat flip and start hitting you with the handle end.

Have to respect the Big Ten’s no pub is bad pub stance by making a one day story in to a two day story now. Where are these punishments and why is it taking this long? Get it over with so everyone can move on
