Bob Knight to Georgia?

Hmmmm...I wonder if the "source" might be Sid.

"He doesn't want it to look as if he's pursuing the job. He'd like to be offered it, and if offered, he'd take it," said a mutual friend, who did not want to be named but was willing for this columnist to report Knight's interest.

The General

will be 69 years old in October. By Sid's standards that is a young man but by college hoops coaching standards I think not.

I'll take a bow for outing Sid a day early....but it's interesting that the dallasnews quote yesterday cites a source "who did not want to be named" Then Sid goes ahead today and basically outs himself as the source. We all know Sid reads gopherhole, but c'mon.

From Sid today:
"Bob Knight has said he is interested in coaching again at a place he has a chance to win, and Georgia might fit that bill. However, I know Knight wouldn't pursue the job. If they want him under the right circumstances, he could be available for the job."

The best line in the quickly-unfolding scenario – to those of us who are entranced by it – came from Georgia freshman forward Troy Thompkins who immediately blurted, “I’d love to play for Coach Knight … as long as he doesn’t hit me.”
