Bobby Knight won three national championships with the Indiana Hoosiers during his time in Bloomington. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest college coaches of all-time. Coach Knight coached Michael Jordan on the 1984 U.S Olympics Team… in which of course the U.S. easily won the Gold Medal.
I actually have an autographed copy of his second book Bob Knight: His Own Man by Joan Mellon in my book collection. He wouldn’t sign my copy of Season on the Brink by John Feinstein. That’s whole other story.
I thought his take on Michael would be interesting given Parts 3 & 4 of The Last Dance air this Sunday evening on ESPN.
