    I read on the post game comments that Rick Barnes and UT honored or did something for Bob Knight before the game? Anyone have anything on this?

    They just made an announcement over the loudspeaker that he just won his 900th game and he has been a good coach type stuff.

    The crowd gave him a standing ovation, as well they should. There were a few boos, but for the most part the crowd was incredibly classy. [​IMG]

    Was there. It was like 99% classy. Standing ovation all around.

    I thnk it was right before the announcement. Coach went over and leaned in to Coach Knight and told him something and Coach Knight smiled an odd smile and Coach Barnes walked away with the cat-who-ate-the-canary look on his face.

    Probably said something like "Hey, we're about to honor you for 900 so try to pretend like your enjoying yourself. We'll make it quick and painless... ; )"

    I think Rick totally disarms Knight with this stuff. Otherwise Bob wouldn't take so well to all the whuppins he keeps getting in Austin.
