INDIANAPOLIS – The world is a strange place today, a sadder place, a little emptier. Bob Knight didn’t go easily, as you knew he wouldn’t. He has been in hospice care among family for days, weeks, longer, death reaching for his hand and Knight smacking it away because nobody touches Bob Knight. Not until he’s ready to go.
He was ready Wednesday. Knight died, according to a post on bobknight.com, a website that represents Knight and his foundation. Indiana later announced his death before a women's exhibition game at Assembly Hall. He was 83. It leaves the rest of us to grapple with a legacy of greatness punctuated by perfection but punctured by controversy.
