Usually the network censors have the bleep button handy when Bobby Knight is around, but it looks like they were asleep during his appearance on ESPN's College Gameday this morning at Baylor.

The mishap, which you probably can't call much of a slip of the tongue for Knight, came while he and Digger Phelps were 'coaching' against each other during a drill on handling situations at the end of a game.The Baylor basketball team was practicing on the court in front of the Gameday analysts and a few hundred students. Although the footage used by Yahoo! Sports doesn't show exactly what Knight was referring to, he uses a term to describe Phelps' defense - a word that rhymes with hissy-fit.
Rece Davis, Jay Bilas and Hubert Davis served as the refs, and even though Davis apologized on air for Knight's choice language, the guys were clearly entertained at the incident — both on camera and on Twitter.It's tough to ask someone like Bobby Knight to tone down the language, but it does make for good television. For adults, anyway.
