i don't want him calling uk games because of who he is or what he has become, but because he is horrible at calling games. he and musberger could lull you to sleep together. he is and always be an ultimate ass, but he was a great coach in his time no doubt. not taking that away from him. but he is just not very good behind the mic.

I don't know where you got that article from, but it was dated Oct 15, 2012. I thought I had heard all that before.

yes it is a dated article and correct me if im wrong but think espn fired him last yr for not being very professional about his job. just done everything by the seat of is pants never studying the game he was during. also think he fell asleep on one of the shows he was involved in

I like the commentator to either be entertaining or knowledgeable...and Knight is neither! I understand he was a great coach and all, but when he calls a game, he doesn't give any good information and seems totally lost. I keep thinking back to the Vandy game last year where he didn't seem to understand how a shot clock works. The only positive I see is that maybe UK will just totally dominate the game and he will have to give us a compliment.

Didn't Bobby Knight call a UK game last year? I thought he did. Regardless, if he was fired by ESPN, good! He is just a jerk.

Ya, I thought he was fired last year too. He is a smart guy, but that doesn't seem to translate to his commentating. You would have to put him with a personality that could do most of the talking. Then Knight could throw in a bit of knowledge here and there. I really hope we don't see him call a UK game again.

Actually I like it when the ''Bob...er" calls a game. Think what 'burning in hell' might mean to you.......for me I like to think that Bob's ''hell'' is having to be a commentator for every UK game for eternity....and UK wins everyone in a dominating / can't say anything bad / only tons of praise....manner. If so, could happen to a nicer guy.

I remember him calling a UK game last year or the year before and was actually decent about it. His delivery was more instructional than entertaining. He called out a lot of things that happened on the court but it seemed more like lecturing and that probably turned a lot of people off.

Agree with all. Knight is horrible as commentator. Maybe a sideline analyst would be better for him. Or just give him a rubber chair to throw every time he gets upset. That would be much more entertaining.
Just remember the one game last year where he couldn't finish his thought about the shot clock apparently winding down when UK scored a bucket. It got so bad, the other announcer tried to cover for him and finish his lines.

I remember being pleasantly surprised when he called a UK game last year. I was pre-cocked in a P.O.'ed direction, but had to be complimentary of him after the game .

He's a jerk and can't change! Real bias against UK and Cal ,I remember when he refused to say UK's name! He knew basketball ,but his methods were absolutely out of line and tarnishes his record ! He only started saying our name because ESPN forced him to and I think they made that part of his retaining his job that he would have to call UK games and if he couldn't theta would just let him go! JMHO
