Bob Knight? In trouble again? O, say it isn't so!

And speaking of things that cause me to be shocked, shocked! Bob Knight is at it yet again. Knight has been suspended for five days because of a loud public confrontation with the Texas Tech University chancellor. Witnesses report that the chancellor approached Knight to compliment him on his recent good behavior. Naturally, Knight flew into a rage and called the chancellor a liar. I guess Knight learned something from listening to Saddam Hussein.

Knight's knee-jerk reaction was to quit. Sadly, someone gave the jerk his knee back, and he's decided to stay for the rest of the season.

I'm sure that Texas Tech is delighted with its decision to hire Knight. They sure can't claim that his actions come as a surprise to them.

Update: Well, it looks like he won't be suspended after all. He'll just get a letter, possibly not even called a letter of reprimand. I bet it won't be all that long before he attacks another secretary or student, though.
