Thad Motta Fired! Bob Knight Hired!

I can’t believe (actually I do believe) the Buckeyes fired Thad Motta this afternoon!  An even bigger surprise was the hire of 1959-1962 point guard Bob Knight.  Coach Knight was quoted as saying “I won one at Ohio State as a player (1960), and I always wanted the chance to win one as a coach.  I’m not getting any younger, so this might be my last chance.”  Athletic Director Gene Smith was quoted as saying “We had pretty good luck hire an alum as our football coach (Urban Meyer), so we figured we’d try to catch the same genie in the bottle with Coach Knight.”

Go Bucks!
