How do you like Bob Knight as a TV analyst?

Personally, I really enjoy his insight into the game.

I like the stoneface Knight gives Vitale after he says some stupid joke.

I think he is fantastic but than again I have always been a huge Knight fan.

I loved the other night when Digger was commenting on a team's defense. He said they played zone and asked Knight what he thought of their D. Knight looked at him and said, "You know I don't speak spanish." I love it!!

I've really liked listening to him. He's screwed up a few team names here and there, but I think he's really good.

He's been pretty decent, but if I have to hear him talk about WaRshington St. one more time I'll flip out. Note to Bob: There's no "R" in Washington.

I think the best part of him being on there is it's like watching the nature channel. You just know that it's only a matter of time before he rips Dick Vitale's throat out.

Give him a break on WaRshington. Anyone who has a grandmother with Scandinavian bloodlines does the same. "WaRsh up for dinner."

I love the insight, but he is extremely unpolished. He definitely knows what he's talking about though.

That doesn't make it any less annoying.

No kidding, we live 20 minutes from Washington Iowa, and all the older people around here say, we're going to Warshington to get groceries," etc.

The unpolished is the part I like best. He doesn't always say what is popular or "correct". I also love his complete disdain for the NCAA. I think he hates them more than I do.

Hate is a strong word. You should say he really, really, really, dislikes them more than I do.

Yeah...I think "hate" is the appropriate word for how Bob Knight feels about Miles Brand.

I like him as an analyst. He's not very smooth yet, but he's not afraid to say what's on his mind or to show his dislike for Dick Vitale and the other analysts' "cute" jokes.
