What did the five fingers say to the face?

If you haven’t heard about this, sports fans, now you will. Bobby Knight, slightly displeased, as is his wont, calmly asked his player to step off the floor and have a discussion with him about his low quality of play last night … they proceeded to engage in a mature, thoughtful dialogue … one thing led to another … and bam, Mr. Knight and Texas Tech Athletics Media Relations Department are having a pretty rough day at the office.

To be honest, it doesn’t look that bad, but, I mean, he did hit the dude.

Surely, we’ll have plenty of impending opinion on this. In fact, I can already faintly hear the Bring Bobby Back crowd in Indiana sharpening their blades against the decapitated skulls of Mike Davis fans. And surely every collegiate pundit in America will be doing one of two prevailing dances - the macho “Coach Knight will make a man of you” fox-trot, or the “you never touch our frail, innocent, baby-faced, beautiful, sweet-as-the-morning-dew collegiate athletes” jig - any time now. But let’s just enjoy the video while we still can.

And hey, everyone has a temper tantrum here and there, right? Like, after a bad golf shot, maybe.
