Knight rips team in news conference

BEAUMONT, Texas - Lamar University head basketball coach Pat Knight ripped his team in a postgame news conference following the Cardinals' 62-52 loss Wednesday to Stephen F. Austin.

Knight interrupted senior guard Mike James as he was answering a question from reporters and said, "Alright I'm next, you don't have a clue what it takes to win a game."

James then stormed off the podium and Knight proceeded to berate the seniors on his squad.

"I'm unhappy with these seniors, that's what I'm unhappy with, it has nothing to do with X's and O's. We've got the worst group of seniors that I've ever been associated with"

Knight's criticism of certain members of his team then shifted from the game itself to their careers at Lamar. "We've had problems with these guys off the court, on the court, classroom, drugs, I mean, being late for stuff, all that stuff correlates together if you're going to win games," Knight said.

Knight is in his first season as head basketball coach at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas. The son of coaching legend Bobby Knight spent four seasons as head coach of Texas Tech University.

Ironically this incident with Pat Knight occured almost 27 years to the day after his father's famous chair-throwing incident while he was head coach at Indiana. The elder Knight threw a chair across the court as the Hoosiers took on Purdue on Feb. 23, 1985.
