Bob Knight makes ESPN debut on Sportscenter tonight at 6pm eastern!

Bob Knight makes ESPN debut on Sportscenter tonight at 6pm eastern! Will he trash the studio? Will he scream at the Sportscenter anchors? Will he grab Doug Gotleib by the throat?

Find out at 6pm eastern (3pm pacific) on Sportscenter, airing on ESPN!

Interesting how the Bob Knight highlights have changed since he was hired by
ESPN. Before the hire, it was the chair, the whip, the screams, grabbing by the throat, the NCAA press conference yelling at some bureaucrat, and such.

Now that he is an ESPN analyst, well, it's the NCAA championship game, and such, and gone are all of the above highlights.

How did he do in his debut at the 6pm EST Sportscenter?
Well it was a rather subdued performance. Knight behaved just like any other analyst, talking about the games. No chair throwing, no screaming, no drama. But that was just hour #1.

Interestingly they had Doug Gottlieb in the witness protection program, as he appeared separately from Digger Phelps. He even had a different Sportscenter anchor.

Apparently Reece Davis is allowed to call him "Bob", he doesn't have to call him "Coach" ;-)
