I would love to be there for that. Love him or hate him, he is known for being very kind and generous when it comes to supporting his home and his friends. He also probably knows as much basketball as any other living American and he knows how to communicate that knowledge to dummies like me, so that I can understand what he means. $50 for an evening with one of the truly great coaches of all time doesn't seem too steep to me.

Ive heard him speak a few times at Indiana HS(s) as well as the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame once. One of the best speakers out there, one of the top 3 I have heard (in small settings, not huge ceremonial speeches) along with Dick Vitale and Dick Enberg.

God I would love to have Dick Enberg follow me around for a day and commentate on the activities I am doing. "Oh Myyyyy, he's deciding whether to get off exit 187 now or stay on for a little while longer. Longer. What a play. Oh Myyyy"

I wonder how his San Diego Padres gig is going?

I might have to be in attendance that Knight.
