Sometimes the most knowledgeable expert doesn't translate into the best TV personality.
Enter former college basketball legendary coach Robert Montgomery Knight.
For years Knight berated the media on various occasions. His post game outbursts put Mike Ditka to shame.
Now Knight is the lead analyst for big college basketball games alongside lead announcer Brent Musburger. Knight is as shrewd as they come with the coaching x's and o's. He's a brilliant tactician who can dissect a basketball problem before it even occurs. As a coach he was one of the most fiery competitors college basketball history.
Yet as a TV analyst he's as exciting as dry wheat toast. There is no passion in his analysis.
Should he be like Dick Vitale? No, nobody should be that animated. But it would be nice if we could see the real "Knight" in action. Just once.
