[...]In our locker room there is a bathroom right attached to it and he came
out, pants down around his ankles and just wiped his ass and said this is how
you guys are playing. Neil Reed: And he just stuck his hand out with that
toilet paper after he had wiped and kind of showed everyone and then walked
back into the stall. Charlie Miller: That's just his way of, I guess, you
know expressing himself. If I can't tell you, I have to show you and what
other way to show you rather than pull my pants down, wipe my ass and say you
are playing like shit, that's coach Knight. [Question]: Is that acceptable
for a professor at Indiana University, a coach at Indiana University? Murray
Sperber: I don't think it's acceptable for an adult. In fact, I wouldn't
accept it in a child. Murray Sperber is a tenured professor of English and
American studies at Indiana, and, during his 29 years in Bloomington, has
become one of Knight's few vocal critics at the university. Sperber says that
Knight's success on the court and his hero status throughout the state have
created one set of rules for Bob Knight and one for the rest of the faculty.
Murray Sperber: I know that if I did it in this classroom here at Indiana, I
would probably lose my tenure by the time that I got back to my office on the
fourth floor. CNN Sports Illustrated has made several requests for interviews
with coach Knight, the president of the university, Dr. Myles Brand, the
athletic director Clarence Donninger, and four current players who were on
the team when some of these incidents occurred. The athletic department said
that it would not make coach Knight or the players available for interviews.
The president's office said that if coach Knight would not agree to an
interview, the president would not either. According to Neil Reed, president
Brand has deferred to Bob Knight before -- allowing himself to be publicly
thrown out of his own team's practice. Neil Reed: Coach Knight could hear him
and just stopped practice and god damm

Aha, the feminization of America progresses quite nicely. At this rate,
we're all going to be bitches of China in a couple of decades. At last
count, China was ready to sacrifice a few 1oo,ooo soldiers to take Taiwan.

I used to think--Ah! such optimism!--that Knight was the only moron at Indiana
University. Now we have this chap Sperber, who seems to think Knight is a
member of "the faculty," and that it's unfair that Knight gets to wipe his
flabby buttocks in front of his "class," but the Prof. Sperber must confine
himself to picking his nose.

Knight was hired by the University to do one thing: win basketball games and
thereby generate cash. Prof. Sperber was hired to do quite another thing: to
pretend that the function of the same institution is to educate the youth of
Indiana.

Who, of these two morons, has the more honest job?
