Bob Knight passed away today.


Recommended Posts

Sad news. He was the coach at IU for about half of my life. I vaguely remember the '87 championship and my favorite IU teams are still the ones of the early '90s. I'm glad he decided to let his grievances with IU go and has been around the program for the past few years. He wasn't perfect but he was a great coach. RIP

Although I knew it was going to happen soon, when I saw it on FB I gasped at the dinner table. My wife said “what’s wrong? What happened??” 
 

“Knight passed away.”

She watched my reaction of shock turn to huge tears. Just laid my head on the table for awhile. 😭

He and my dad were the same age. My dad passed away 5 years earlier almost to the day. Many of the happiest moments of my childhood and even young adult years were watching his teams with my dad. I’m sitting on the couch in my man cave revisiting some of those memories with tears welling up in my eyes. Thank you, Coach, for those great memories you helped provide for me.

I couldn't hold back either.
