I'll admit, a lot...no..most of the ideas TNA comes up with, leads to me shaking my head in disgust, but unlike some, I give credit where credit is due. When I first read the words "TNA in talks with former Basketball Coach" the first thing I did was palm my face in embarrassment. After reading some of the negative replies, it dawned on me. Whether negative or positive, the fact that Bob Knight of all people sparked a discussion is a positive in itself. Word of mouth plays important role in the success of TNA. WWE, WCW, and ECW collectively pulled these same stunts in the past. Mike Tyson, Karl Malone, Pete Rose, Drew Carey, are all names that have been used to generate attention in the past.
So all in all, though Knight has no experience in the wrestling business, he's a highly popular sports figure. Acquiring Knight will lead to media attention, media attention will lead to exposure, which is exactly what TNA needs.
Of course, signing Knight will not elevate ratings or anything, but its not necessarily a horrible move.
