Advice from Strangers
This week's guest:
Bobby Knight

Dear Bobby,
I'm a college student at... Dear Disrespectful, Stop. Look at me. LOOK AT ME! When you are talking to me, you will LOOK AT ME! You will not look down. You will not look up. You will not look away. Are we clear on that? Because if we are not clear on that, then we are not clear on anything. I am not "Bobby." I am "Coach Knight." "Bobby" is for the slack-jawed friends you waste your life with at parties and whatever else it is you do. I don't care, frankly. I really don't. You, your life, your friends -- it's bullshit to me. I know this: you will address me as "Coach Knight," or I will explain to you in some other way the reasons that I have earned that title. Don't you look down. YOU LOOK AT ME!!! Coach Robert Montgomery Knight Dear Coach Knight, Looking back on the whole Indiana mess, what would you have done differently? Bashful in Bloomington Dear Bashful, I've had a lot of time to think about what happened at Indiana. The dust has settled, and I'm thriving in my new situation here at Texas Tech. Things look different when you are away from the heat of a situation and, of course, hindsight is always 20/20. Having said that, I think the main thing I would have done differently was to arrange for Indiana President Myles Brand to be sent to some sort of correctional camp program. There are people who specialize in this sort of thing. It's not that I have a disagreement with the man. This man just needs to learn that there are some authorities that you should just SHUT UP and LISTEN TO. Coach Knight Dear Coach Knight, Why do you think so many players transferred from your program before graduation? Wondering in Washington Dear Wondering, College is a very confusing time in a young man's life, full of difficult decisions. This is particulary true for pussies like Luke Recker, who aren't able to beat off without asking for someone's help. Why did players transfer from my program? Probably because the Talbot's in Bloomington didn't carry skirts in their size. Coach Knight |
