Jeremy Schaap is not pleased

Is Bob Knight a member of the media? I can’t decide. He claims he isn’t, but just because someone claims they’re not something doesn’t make it so. For example, if you’re a blog, and you do breaking news and are consistently wrong, you can’t say “oh, I’m not a journalist, so it doesn’t matter.” That’s naughty.

Still, I don’t know if I consider what Digger Phelps does to be “media” in the sense that Bob Knight means when he deals with the media. Clearly, Knight is referring to people who report and analyze and pester him with questions far below his intellectual patience. Digger Phelps does not do that. Digger Phelps wears pink ties and makes obvious statements about basketball. I’m torn here.

Anyway, it doesn’t really matter, because the whole point of this is that Jeremy Schaap still hates Bob Knight. And through Jeremy’s hatred, we all win (HT: AA)

Schaap, on vacation and not upset at missing Knight’s opening night, said: “He has a long way to go before he’s as good as Digger Phelps. And I mean that 100 percent.”

Slam! You’d think that after Knight named his cat Schaap, all would be forgiven. Apparently not.
