Bob Knight as a Color guy?

It looks like those rumors of Bobby Knight returning to the sidelines won't be coming to fruition, at least for this season. After experimenting with Knight as an in-studio analyst at the end of last season, the Worldwide Leader has decided to put Knight in the booth this year. He will be paired up with Brent Musberger for Thursday night games and Dan Shulman for various non-conference games during the week.

I'm not sure how this will work out for ESPN. On the one hand, there may not be anyone in the world that knows his x's and o's better than Knight. But at times last year, Knight seemed bored on-air and gave off this vibe that talking about basketball on TV was below him. It didn't seem like he enjoyed what he was doing, although I'm sure a large part of that is just Bob Knight being surly old Bob Knight (I'm sure Dickie V's ass-kissing only helped the situation). And how long do you think it would be until he dropped an F-bomb live on the air?

But as I said before, there may not be anyone that knows the game better than Knight, even if he is a bit inexperienced on air. ESPN is pairing him with two of the best and most experienced play-by-play guys out there in Shulman and Musberger. Do you think the WWL has the stones to assign Knight to an Indiana game?

So other interesting news and notes:

Chris Broussard caught up with Brandon Jennings in Rome. It looks like the young fella is doing pretty good for himself. I've been saying it from the beginning - this was a great decision by Jennings.

The LA Times and New York Times both had interesting pieces on how the new three-point line is effecting college hoopers. Will we end up being right?
