February 2020. Backstage at my favorite IU bar thebluebirdbar ..the night before his long-awaited return to IU 🤍❤️ Bob Knight is the reason why I went to school at Indiana. He is the reason why I fell in love with the game of basketball. He was bigger than life, but was always kind & welcoming to me as a shy student/intern, and then later as a young reporter. Although imperfect, he was so caring & incredibly generous--something most media simply refused to discuss. My absolute fondest memories from my 5 years at IU are gamedays at Assembly Hall. He influenced so many-including my dad who was an Army cadet during Coach's tenure at West Point. While he will likely never be fully appreciated for his impact on the game AND literally thousands of young men, he will be forever loved by those of us who took the time to learn who he was as a man. RIP, Coach! THANK YOU!! ❤️🤍❤️ 📷 cred: Todd Leary :) . #bobknight iubloomington indianambb
