Bobby Knight: 'I've never been a (John) Wooden fan'

Published

How can you NOT like John Wooden?

If you're Bobby Knight, you probably don't like anyone.

In a recent interview with Joe Buck on Audience's 'Undeniable', Knight said Wooden couldn't handle booster Sam Gilbert, who repeatedly violated NCAA recruiting rules.




I have a lot of respect for Wooden as a coach, how he coached. One time he told me, he said, 'I just didn't know how to deal with Sam Gilbert.' And I'm saying to myself, 'I damn sure could have dealt with him.

I don't mind saying it, I don't respect Wooden. I've never been a Wooden fan.


Wooden coached UCLA to 10 national titles during his tenure (1948-75). Knight retired from coaching at Texas Tech in 2008 after a long career at Indiana (1971-2000).
