He’s back: Bob Knight returns as ESPN analyst for SEC games

Posted on by

There had been speculation that Bob Knight was done at ESPN after last season.

Well, it turns out the former coach is back. Knight is slated to work Thursday night SEC games with Rece Davis.

Whether by his choice or the network’s, Knight’s role has been greatly reduced since he arrived at ESPN in 2008. He once had a major presence as a studio analyst and on multiple games. Now he is doing one SEC game per week.

Perhaps at age 73, Knight wants to keep his hand in the game while limiting the travel and other broadcast duties. Understandable.

Then again, maybe the demand for the old coach isn’t what it used to be.

  1. Well considering he didn’t even know what the shot clock was for during a broadcast last year it’s clear ESPN isn’t using him for his coaching acumen anymore. Knight for all his faults, was a brilliant coach but that time is passed…now he’s simply a bitter old man.
