Rick without a tie ...

[Barton Hills]

So, who knows the story of why Rick has stopped sportin' a tie for road games?

Funny to hear Baylor fans say it was "disrespectful". At least the 2 old dude in front of me.

 

[Bob in Houston]

He's been tieless for about two weeks, IIRC.

Those old guys would really be ticked off if West Virginia came to town.

As far as that goes, I think the next time Bob Knight wears a tie will be the first.

I think BK used to wear ties and brightly colored sport coats early at IU before he changed to the red sweaters.

 

[Barton Hills]

Valid points, but why did Rick stop wearing one? Wonder if it's superstition, or he just decided to go casual.

Doesn't bother me, just wanted to know if there was a story behind it.

I brought up Rick not wearing a tie against Tech. As far I as could remember I couldnt recall him not wearing one (other than OOC tournaments).

 

[Bob in Houston]

Hey, there we go.

I know that by the mid-80s, BK had ditched the ties for sweaters...

 

[OrangeChipper]

Ya'll are silly. You can't have tie's in basketball. That's why they have overtime. Maybe Bobby Knight could get a tie way back when, but nobody does that anymore. DUH. LOL KTKSBAI.

 

[Bevo's Buddy]

Maybe he's now consulting with Todd Wright's wardrobe stylist.

Neck rash. It will go away by Saturday and the tie will be back.





P.S. I made that up.

 

[Third Coast]

If Gene Keady can coach all those years with that horrid comb over, Rick can go tieless.

Bob:

I think Knight switched in 1983; I'm pretty sure I remember him being in sweaters then. I loved the bright coats and ties that he used to wear.

btw...I just want to say that I think that basketball coaches having to wear a suit is ridiculous. You are coaching a basketball team...Not going into your law practice every day. A team polo with khakis should be sufficient.

 

[Texdoc]

Fire his *** to make a point !

I guarantee you his successor won't even think about disrespecting an opponent like tthat..

HOOK 'EM,
Texdoc

 

[Nordberg]

**** that. All coaches should wear tuxes. And top hats.

I kinda like how most basketball coaches and hockey coaches wear suits. Imagine if they wore uniforms like ridiculous baseball coaches...that would be hilarious. I wonder if Rick would wear an undershirt with his jersey? I also don't like how NFL coaches have been dressing over the last few years and I blame sloppy *** looking Belichick...cut off sleeves???
