I feel like I’m in an alternate universe right now. Famed college basketball coach, Bobby Knight seemingly not knowing the difference between the game clock and the play clock. Knight is for the moment, a basketball commentator.

The TV replays showed a player make a basket with 17.3 seconds left in the game, but the ball left his hands after clock expired. In a post violation discussion with a fellow commentator, Knight, 72, was unable to tell the difference between the shot clock and game clock.

Knight: “That 17.3 was up there and the zero was on the bottom. I don’t know what that meant.”
Davis: “The zero was the shot clock.
Knight: “What was the 17.3?”
Davis: “Game clock. What was remaining in the half.”

Weird.
