Lubbock, Texas - A home video that shows a confrontation between Texas Tech basketball coach Bobby Knight and another man has everyone across the country talking.
Video shows James Simpson approaching Coach Knight and his hunting partner Bob Curtis and asking them to move away from his house. Simpson claims that Knight shot at his house while he was out cleaning his pool.
Coach Knight very heatedly explained that he did not shoot at Simpson's house and that Simpson was talking to the wrong guy. Lubbock police investigated the incident that took place earlier this month, but came to the conclusion that Knight did nothing wrong.
"I didn't shoot at your house, so you're talking to the wrong guy," Knight said.
James Simpson claims that shot gun pellets rained down on his home, around his yard, and in his pool on October 21st.
"Pellets fell on my house," Simpson said.
"I didn't shoot in that direction once," Knight said.
Simpson confronted Coach Knight, believing he was the culprit.
"I don't want the pellets landing in my back yard again," Simpson said.
"Well, why do I have to move when I didn't shoot at your house?" Knight asked.
"How about if I came to your house and shoot and have pellets land in your back yard? You wouldn't like that," Simpson said.
"I didn't do that," Knight said.
"You two are the only people out here shooting," Simpson said referring to Knight and Bob Curtis who was hunting with Knight.
"Well maybe Bob did it; I didn't do it," Knight said.
"Well, he's probably covering up for you because you're some big celebrity, so what I'm saying now," Simpson started to say.
