Is here to kick a$$ and chew bubble gum. And he's all out of bubble gum.

I'm a little surprised there's no comment about THIS (http://sportales.com/basketball/bob-knights-shot-at-john-calipari-good-call-coach/) yet.

“We’ve gotten into this situation where integrity is really lacking and that’s why I’m glad I’m not coaching,” he said. “You see we’ve got a coach at Kentucky who put two schools on probation and he’s still coaching. I really don’t understand that“

Calipari's response HERE (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4755172). Really, he has no defense as Knight is right. His options were to do as he does in this interview or go after Knight and make it an even bigger story.

I love it, but I may be a little biased. You have to respect an old school guy like Knight who believes in academics, hard work, and teaching players to become better men. I have always liked how Knight is honest and speaks his mind, and he never whored himself out like many other D1 coaches do. He definitely has some faults (e.g. his temper), but I think he always meant well and he was one hell of a coach.
