So an IU fan used AI to take Bobby Knight's classic (not safe for work) rant about losing to Purdue and make it into a song.
It's pretty good.

This one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard...almost better than the a cappella version!
Hated BK when he coached iu but started to appreciate him later in life.
This is one of the better videos I've seen of him. It's been out for a long time but it's damn hilarious. NSFW...

Interesting— I’m the exact opposite: I respected knight as a master tactician and motivator early on….
However, the more I was exposed to him, the more I realized what he really was: a petty, profane, thin-skinned hypocrite who was absolutely unable to abide by the standards he absolutely demanded of everyone he interacted with.

Yep. Demanded discipline and self control from his players, but he had zero of either himself.
He was as old school as they get. He produced though. I think as a player, if you committed to iu and BK at the time, you had to know what you were getting yourself into and be ready for it.
And Izzo “produced” too. Those MSU coeds should have known to stay away from his thug players, amirite?
There's nothing inherently good about "old school." Plenty of good things and bad things are "old school."
I've never seen a good leader in my time in the military and that started in 92 and ended in 20 who was the kind of thin skinned hypocritical ass Knight was. They may have gotten "results" but it was at the cost of the people they led and ultimately a lot of them just got worse as they aged until they ended up just like Knight.
You can get results being like Keady or Painter. Firm, but fair. Kind but demanding. Not requiring things they didn't give a damn about holding themselves accountable to like Knight was.
There's nothing about Knight worthy of emulation or respect IMO. He's mostly forgotten now and that's a good thing.
I meant old school in the fact that he didn't care about your feelings. It was his way or the highway and if you didn't like the discipline or berating, there's the door. Not saying I agree with it but again, it generated 3 NCs, so he was doing something right at the time.
Not caring about feelings is not a good thing.
The idea that how you get to a goal doesn't matter as long as you get to that goal is a principle we usually reject.
