Pat Knight continues to follow in his father's footsteps

Bobby Knight is, has been, and always will be one of the best when it comes to giving good quote.

Don't believe me? Watch this.

Coaches Behaving Badly

Back in December, Andy Kennedy was arrested for allegedly assaulting a cab driver. There were conflicting stories about what happened that night, but it seems like the Cincinnati police believe Kennedy was drunk and belligerent at local college hangout called The Lodge Bar. He tried to get more people in a cab than would fit, and ended up assaulting the cab driver after some sort of verbal altercation.

I didn't think this story would have any legs after it came out that his wife was suing the cabbie for, among other things, ruining their sex life. But now, the Cincinnati police has released the video from Kennedy's arrest:

The other great line? At the 3:45 mark, one of the cops says something along the lines of "You think we haven't made a national arrest? We deal with the Bengals all the time!"

You can't make this stuff up.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, I guess. UPDATE: Pat Knight will not be suspended by the Big XII. How is that possible? Did you see what he did? Should I send this post to the Big XII? Continue reading...
