Coach Bob Knight was a gift to the game of basketball. The Hall of Fame Coach passed away on Wednesday at the age of 83 in his home in Bloomington, Indiana. I’ve dreaded this blog for a long time.
Growing up, I loved Coach Knight. I still remember my Dad telling me the story about his famous quote: “When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want [them] to bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!” From that moment on, I knew I would love Coach Knight. And I did.
