"The Last Days of Knight," the latest installment in ESPN's 30 for 30 documentary series, will be available on Thursday exclusively on ESPN+.
It looked like a janitor's closet.
The inconspicuous gray door on the court level of Indiana University's Assembly Hall easily concealed the office where the titan of college basketball watched game film and did some of his deepest thinking.
On Sept. 7, 2000, it was Bob Knight's sanctuary. That was the day the legendary Hoosiers men's basketball coach was accused Authentic Jodie Meeks Jersey of grabbing freshman student Kent Harvey by the arm http://www.authenticvikingsstore.com/datone-jones-jersey-c-2_46.html and breaking the zero-tolerance policy enacted by university president Myles Brand. Hordes of media were quickly gathering to hear from http://www.officialvikingsonline.com/datone-jones-jersey-c-1_14.html the embattled coach, but Knight had devised another game plan.
With his http://www.officialravensshop.com/eric-weddle-jersey-c-1_19.html career on the brink, the Hall of Fame coach, who had three national championships, 11 Big Ten titles and more than 600 wins in his 29 seasons in Bloomington, opened the heavy door and introduced himself to a reporter for the Indiana Daily Student with a firm handshake.
"Don't be Emmanuel Lamur Youth Jersey afraid, kid," he told me with a smile and a pat on the back, adding, "yet."
At that moment, Knight's longstanding grudge against the student Authentic Jodie Meeks Jersey newspaper ended, and my story with him began. Having run out of other options, and harboring a distrust for the national media, Knight struck a deal with a handful of eager student journalists. In exchange for providing a forum on campus to address the students and fans on his terms, Knight would agree to grant the IDS two days of exclusive interviews. They were conversations he thought he could control and manipulate, much in the way he exerted his authority on his basketball program for almost three decades.
Knight told me to get any other reporters from the school paper who should be there and we'd "have a little more [to the story] than anybody else will." He said he picked us to tell his side of the story because "some guy will ask an off-the-wall question" in the news conference upstairs "and that's all that will be written Jerami Grant Jersey Womens or talked about."
