A "Knight" to Remember?? -- A CH2K7 (PS2) legacy

Re: A "Knight" to Remember?? -- A CH2K7 (PS2) legacy

Yeah, your first class looks solid a good group to build around as you progress. I gotta admit following this today at work got me back into playing Hoops, so thanks for that. I've got a question what school do you really want to coach when other offers start rolling in?

Again this is fun to follow Good luck this season.


EDIT: I'm going to assume Providence.

Actually, I would really like to follow the real Bob Knight's footsteps and go to Indiana next or his current team, Texas Tech. The real Coach Knight spent six seasons at Army before moving along to the Hoosiers. If I don't get a gig like Indiana or Texas Tech, then I may go somewhere else. Who knows, maybe it might be the Friars. I guess that it will depend on my success with the Black Knights as to what teams might want me.

Midnight Madness, 2007

West Point, NY -- After the annual Midnight Madness intrasquad game in front of the fans Coach Bob Knight decided on his starting five for the season opener against the Niagra Purple Eagles.

PG T.Thompson
SG J.Brown
SF C.Richard
PF C.Bates
PF E.Zastoupil (at C)

"We are going to redshirt the following freshmen for the upcoming season: SGs Akin Anderer and Roshaun Sinville, plus PF Percy McCormick. Edgar Goodman did a good job in handling the offense and he may even start during the season," Coach Knight stated after the game.

Dynasty's looking good. Nice job.

Rough start to the season, Brown really needs someone step up as a secondary option. I'm sure you'll rebound and have a good season

Thanks for the response.

Thompson or maybe Carter could try to step up but they are not consistant.

Hopefully this team will start to gel in time for the conference opener.
