Leave it to Bobby Knight to once again gain attention by not filtering what comes out of his mouth, even when he’s on national television. This afternoon during a college basketball game, Knight referred to one of the team’s defenses as “chicken shit”. Here’s the video:
The comment got a response and nervous laughter from his fellow analysts but then lead man at the desk, Rece Davis, apologized for the remark.
According to sources close to the production, when Knight was approached by one of the producers after the incident and told:
“You can’t say chicken shit on television.”
Knight responded:
“You can once.”
Even off camera he just keeps on entertaining.
