TU vs. USF
- Thread starter TU_BLA
- Start date
I enjoy listening to Knight's commentary. He is a little too blunt/straightforward for some though.
Knight is +100000000000 better than the Auburn hack that did the game on Tuesday. He's not afraid to praise or criticize and I always feel as though what he says he truly believes. Some of the guys that have been on seemingly praise whatever team is winning because that is what they are supposed to do. It wouldn't surprise me if Knight wanted this game to get an in person look at us.
I too enjoyed his straight forward critque of the UCONN/UC game, however his comparison between players getting stupid T's for taunting, being on par with DB's getting flagged for pass interferrence was simply weird. Completely different circumstances. Obviously it is sometimes a better option to mug the the receiver and take the penalty when the alternative is giving up a TD.
As TU starts playing more big games down the stretch, hopefully they get some of ESPN "A" or "B" announcers/analysis.
I specifically enjoyed listening to his method for getting kids to focus in practice from the foul-line. If anyone missed his commentary, he basically would stop practice at random points and pick a player to shoot 2 free throws. He would put pressure on the kid by telling him if he missed one of the foul shots he owed him 10 push-ups. If the kid missed the first shot Knight would then telling him if he makes the 2nd shot, he only owes him 5 push-ups. He always had pretty good free throw shooting teams and his method of forcing concentration was a key factor. I kind of think Knight was sugarcoating, I could see him wanting 20 and 10 push-ups.
He also said if Caupin played for him, the young man would have been running up and down the aisles at 7:00 am the next morning. Old School coaches like Coach Knight have no tolernace for players who get themselves ejected for taunting the opponent, selfish stupidty.
Checkout the below interview Coach Knight had with Gregg Marshall before the 2013-14 NCAA Tourney. Coach Marshall talks about his philosophy on beating the opponent down the floor, which is the exactly Haith is coaching. I especially like Coach Knight's response to Coach Marhall's question regarding what he as a head coach needs to do to get better heading into the tournament.

Knight / Marshall interview
Get that uniform junk out ...play hard, play smart and the the rest will take care of itself...guys have turned it on in the last 5 minuets
Someone needs to step out on a flipping shooter. I have no idea how Collins shoots the ball with any consistency or accuracy.. It looks like he started emulating Reggie Miller except he's not Reggie Miller. We have to force USF to throw the ball inside and take our chances because they're hitting fewer shots inside than they are outside.

Refs are just awful today. The inconsistency and lack of knowledge about the rule book is astounding right now. My kid had better refs in his 3rd grade game this AM
