Greatest Coach Ever!

You're not ****ing kidding me. Knight is the ****ing greatest coach on the ****ing planet.

What's a game face?

YOU GOTTA BE SHITTING ME. DA COACH IS THE BEST COACH EVER. DITKA - SERGEANT ASSMUNCH!!!

Knight's definitely one of the best college bball has ever seen, up there with Wooden and ::shudders:: Coach K, don't know if he's the greatest ever, though. Gotta go with my boy Belichick, he has gotten more out of less than anyone I have ever seen, but I'm pretty young. Judging coaches is so subjective when you're a fan, because so much of what they do is behind closed doors, so the only thing that we see is the result on the field. It's tough to gauge how much they scheme, work with players, etc. Kudos to Anonymous for the "Sergeant Assmunch" nickname-haven't head that one before. Although it wasn't necessary. And Ditka is not even near the top of NFL coaches.

My heart wants to give Coach K the vote, but I have to go with...I don't know if I can bring myself to say this...Dean...Smith. Man, that hurt.

Knight is a great coach.

Even though he is before my time, I gotta go with Coach Lombardi. Master motivator and emotional leader. His values of hard work and dedication help make him my all time favorite. He got the most from his players. His opponents knew what his teams were gonna do and couldn't stop them. His emphasis was on teamwork and execution, not complexity of the playbook.

I don't want to debate the merits of individual NFL coaches because I do respect what Belichick has done in NE (especially in the salary cap era), but you can't consider him unless you also consider his 36-44 record while coaching the Cleveland Browns.

I wouldn't evn put Ditka in the top ten NFL coaches. In no particular order: Lombardi, Halas, Brown, Walsh, Shula, Landry, Noll, Belichick, Lambeau, Grant. Heck even guys like Schottenheimer, Stram, Holmgren, Levy, etc. are better coaches in my book.

NCAA Field Hockey: Beth Anders

NCAA Basketball: John Wooden NCAA Wrestling: Dan Gable

Not sure who they are? (Ok, you know who Wooden is), but look at those credentials and records and then you'll have a few more to add to the list.

Gable will always get my vote, not because I'm a wrestling writer, but Gable's records at Iowa will boggle the mind of any non-wrestling sports fan.

But Knight was great for watching the hijinks. Will never question that. Most fun coach to watch.

What about current coaches Privates? Lovie the Black Bear not a bad guy. Neither is that Tony Dungy kid.

But this guy is a freakin bum. Can't even afford both of his god damn sleeves.

Go read "Season on the Brink" then tell me Knight isn't the best leader/coach in the history of sports. Besides Isaih Thomas has this guy ever coached a player who has made an impact in the NBA?

What about Coach K

Here he is passing out http://www.y...=CWl5qC0FBzo

Private K is what I call him

Alright privates what about the famous slap to the face? Thoughts please. http://www.y...=VALFA08bla4

THERE IS NOT QUESTION WHO THE GREATEST COACH WAS OR IS THREE LITTLE WORDS: JOHN ROBERT WOODEN. And I don't even have to go any further or even mention the school which we all know is UCLA. Knight isn't even fit to hold his jock strap. Knight is and was a horse's behind now and forever. He has done things and said things that can't even be printed. Class, ability, knowledge, presence, god fearing, lives by what he believes. In all the years I have gotten to know Coach since 1947 he has never said anything that would put him or the school in bad lights. He will forever be mentioned with just only "Coach", His records speak for themselves as does his life. When knight wins 10 NCAA championships in 12 years maybe he will be considered in Wooden's class. All the respond that he had the talent is a load of you know what because he did it without Alcindor and Walton and with no player over 6'5" and didn't lose a game in his first championship year. You folks don't remember Knight throwing a chair on to the floor in the PanAm games, or his remarks and crap he pulled during the Olympics. He hit players, cursed at officials and fans, flipped off all kinds of individuals and his mouth in most of his TV interviews belonged in a bar on canal street. Class he doesn't have and even his coaching ability is questioned after all the incidents happened and he finally got fired from Indiana..He is one of the most winningest coaches in college but his attitude and demeanor are somewhat wanting.

I mean there are great coaches like Paul "Bear" Bryant (football), Joe Paterno (football), John Wooden, Red Auerback, Coach K, Dean Smith, etc. I mean there is something about Bob Knight, I just can't put my finger on it...LOL

Discipline doesn't mean kicking them in the head on national television or hitting them up the side of the head because they didn't do it the way you wanted it done. Knight either is going to have to change his style or leave the game. Today's player will not take all the crap that he puts out. His record speaks for itself but getting there isn't something he can be proud of.....His abilities as a coach are well documented but his style of coaching and behavior are so far out of the normal that it makes his statistics and awards almost without merit. Everyone knows he will not change so he will go down in basketball history as a loudmouthed, overly opinionated, ego centered individual with no understanding of others feelings.
