Beaumont, Texas • Lamar coach Pat Knight has torn into his players in a way that might remind some of his father. On Wednesday night, after his team lost 62-52 to Stephen F. Austin, the younger and usually more subdued Knight pulled no punches in an extended rant that prompted comparisons to Bob Knight, his dad and a legendary coach known for his fiery temper. "We’ve got the worst group of seniors right now that I’ve ever been associated with," Pat Knight said. "Their mentality is awful. Their attitude is awful. It’s been their [custom] for the last three years. To come out in a game like this, with no emotion and flat, it’s terrible." Knight is in his first year at Lamar, a Southland Conference team, after being let go by Texas Tech. The Cardinals are 17-11 with three league games remaining. He said several times during Wednesday’s postgame news conference that he’s at the school to "clean things up" and that next year things will be different when the current seniors are gone. "These guys are stealing money by being on scholarship with their approach to things," he said. He said no one has stepped up to help lead the team in a better direction and says there’s an "infestation" of players who are difficult to coach. "When I played, if you acted the way some of these guys did, you got shoved in a locker with a forearm up against your neck and told: ‘You don’t do that. That’s not how we do things at Indiana,’ and that’s what we need," Knight said while not specifying who did that when he was playing for the Hoosiers under his father. After he called his seniors "the worst," he went down the box score and read off several players’ statistics and said that they have an "attitude problem."
