Pretty hard to recognize without a jaded ref or scared kid in front of him! I hear tossing chairs is actually pretty good fly casting practice, though.

Several years ago I pastored a small church just outside of Indianapolis. A 17 year old young man had a reccurring bout with cancer and had to go to the hospital. He was a die-hard Indiana Hoosier fan. Word got out to Bobby Knight and the coach visited this young man in the hospital with a signed basketball, jersey, and other basketball related items. Coach didn't make a big fuss about it and was there by himself. Only a few people knew about it. This young man died 3 days later. I guess I'll always believe Coah Knight is a very compassionate man. When I saw the picture of him fishing in the small creek, I simply smiled, knowing he was thoroughly enjoying his time on the water. I know he's had some pretty bizarre moments, but he's also had some pretty spectacular moments as well.
Coach Knight is like all of the rest of us: a man of mixed positive and negative attributes. But, as a public figure, his have just been exposed to more people than most of ours have. I sure hope I don't get exactly what I deserve when all is said and done. So I don't hope Coach Knight does either. He's a phenomenal coach with a bit of a temper that has occassionally resulted in bad judgment. Where I come from, that isn't actually all that uncommon among people in general. Knight just happens to have cameras around all the time and the rest of us don't.Quote:

I happen to have a great deal of respect for the man! My faults are many, I'm just fortunate that I'm not followed by a camera crew.

I also have a great deal of respect for Bobby Knight. As stated, his temper is well documented. Jerry McKinnis had fished with him many times, & they are close friends. I guess he's a dynamite fly fisher. Sharing a stream with him would indeed be a special memory.

Knight's kids re successful on the court and in the classroom. It's hard to ask for more than that from a coach. Most of his players would run through a wall for him.
Can you imagine if we had a chair nearby when we miss a striking fish?
Watched him on a fishing show where he verbally "coached" a fish to
his hook... now that's coaching.

The Herbert Hoover quote comes to mind:
