Bulldog92 Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 It's been like this ever since Pat Foster left over 25 years ago. Being an LU basketball fan is incredibly frustrating.
AggiesAreWe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I listened to the post game driving from the game. Pat Knight was livid!! He basically threw all the seniors under the bus!! Said in so many words he cannot wait till the season is over and not have to deal with those guys ever again!It was pitiful to say the least!

AggiesAreWe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Some quotes from Pat Knight in post game press conference:"These kids are stealing money being on scholarship""They were a bunch of tin men out there tonight, no heart.""These are the worst group of seniors I've ever been associated with""What we have here is a bunch of lemons we're trying to squeeze the last bit of juice out of""If they leave here and go through life like they approach this game I feel sorry for them""We have another week and a half of this then they can go into the real world""These guys don't care for the program""If we play like we play tonight we won't win another game""It's the same crap all year long"
AggiesAreWe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 Another Knight quote:"When I played if you act like the way some of these guys did you got shoved in a locker with forearm against your neck and told you don't do that, that's not how we do things here at Indiana and that's what we need"
AggiesAreWe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 "You act this way in the real world you're going to be homeless without a job" Knight on team's attitude
AggiesAreWe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 "I've come here to clean something up and that's the bottom line. We've gotta get a better personality on this team a better mindset" Knight
AggiesAreWe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 "We got 8 new guys coming in next year and I guarantee next year the attitude the personality of this team will be totally different" Knight
AggiesAreWe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 More Pat Knight: "Lamar is the best job in this league. We should make the conference tournament every year."
AggiesAreWe Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 To be clear, Knight singled out sr Devon Lamb as a good one. Said he would like five players like him. Had 15 boards, 8 on O-glass.
KDOSullivan Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I know he is gone, but you have to blame the former coach for letting them get this way... >:(
badndn Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 He also pointed out that we should look at what this group of Seniors has done down the stretch the past three years and not be suprised that they showed a lack luster performance last night. Pretty good point!
shovel Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I'm not gonna argue Coach Knights perspective, but I do wish he would find a better way to handle this. To speak poorly of his players is still a reflection of Lamar University. He could be a little more tactful, but then again, Lamar knew this when they hired him. The acorn did not fall far from the tree.
Lazeek Posted February 23, 2012 Report Posted February 23, 2012 I have 110% faith in Knight. Keep it coming!!! Bottom line is one night they play hard, the next night they don't. It is a terrible mindset. And only having about 9 kids who play any kind of minutes is tough because you don't have the luxury of going to the bench for some help.Keep doing what your doing Coach Knight........

I am a season ticket holder and love what Knight brings. At least he doesn't worry about how he looks and if his hair is out of place like Coach Roc did. Roc had no control of the team.
