As Bob Knight moved one win closer to catching Dean Smith, his temper flared once again, when he used his hand to push a player's chin during a timeout, as if to make him look the coach in the eye.

Nothing important? worth a fine/suspension? worth dismissal given previous record?

Ridiculously overblown. C'mon. Get a grip people.

isn't that the problem, knight got a grip on someones chin.......

[foghorn]

Yes, he's definitely earned the benefit of the doubt. Give it to him.

Coach Knight forcefully and with fury bumped upwards on the chin of the player to garner his attention through looking the player in the eye. No action is warranted by Texas Tech University. This event will have a positive affect on the team due to the players respecting the coach at all times. This event will have a positive affect on the national ranking of the team as voters will be more likely than they would otherwise to move Texas Tech up a ranking ballot. This event will have a negative affect on Coach Knight’s mood with reporters due to the frequent questions on the topic.

On Mike & Mike this morning, they beat this issue into the ground, just begging for someone to argue that this was a big deal. For the first time in a long time, I turned off ESPNRadio before 10:00 (when Colin Blowhard comes on)...

on paper, it looks bad. Look at the video and it was nothing.

I agree it's being blown out of whack...but I was surprised there was no thread on it yet...

it looked like nothing and an attention grabber, nothing more

Yep this is a non-story. Mike & Mike was blowing it out of proportion.

Shoulda just shown him the toilet paper.
