Bobby Knight on Pitino: “I think that boy has them going in the right direction."

Knight likes Pitino

Bobby Knight, who has worked on broadcasts of three of the Gophers’ seven games this season, including their 84-69 win over Wake Forest on Tuesday, said he watched head coach Richard Pitino in practice and liked what he saw.

“I thought Minnesota is doing well,” Knight said. “I think that boy has them going in the right direction. I watched him at practice, Pitino, and I thought he did a good job in his preparation at practice. I was impressed with him. But I think they make a huge mistake in playing these weak teams from now on until they play a Big Ten game.”

On Wednesday, Knight talked about what he’s seen from the Gophers.

“They played well last night,” Knight said. “They played at both ends, and the one kid [Andre Hollins, 7-for-10 on three-pointers] shot the three really well. They have a little bit of depth. I thought they handled Wake Forest pretty good last night.”

He said in the Georgia game that he doesn't care for the spacing of our centers and he wouldn't let Mo and EE be so far out of the lane on offense.

I'm sure being called 'that boy' by the senile old man is one of the thrills of Richard's life.

When you're an old fart, anyone under 40 is a boy. By chance did Knight say 'that boy' while sitting on a porch in rocking chair with a mouth full of chewing tabaky?
