Mitch Barnhart: “The Univ. of Kentucky, our student-athletes & their families take great offense to the blatantly erroneous comments made by Bob Knight. Academic performance has always been a priority at UK. It’s unfortunate that, although every starter from the 2010 season finished the spring semester in good academic standing, these myths exist.

Remember great Cawood Ledford having to beg a guy to let him break line so he could make it back to courtside in time for second half.”

Dan Wolken: “Kentucky’s persecution complex is stunning. Not sure why you think what Bob Knight said matters at all. If Knight “apologies,” it accomplishes what? About the same as he accomplished by saying something stupid. Both amount to nothing. And please don’t pretend like guys who were at UK for one year were there for any reason but to get to the NBA. Just don’t. Turning millionaires into martyrs over this issue is stupid. Don’t go down that road.”
