10. Knight: My Story
Author: by Bob Knight
Thomas Dunne Books
English
400 pages
Bob Knight was a head coach in college basketball at twenty-four, coach of an unbeaten NCAA champion at thirty-five, coach of the last amateur team to win the Olympic men’s basketball gold medal at forty-three, and out of a job at not quite sixty.
His shock, disappointment and anger over Indiana University’s manner of firing a twenty-nine-year employee comes through clearly in his account of his last turbulent year there. And it is his account. Few people in sports have had more books written about them.
This is the first by Bob Knight – one of the most literate, candid, quoted and outspoken men in American public life telling in this first-person account of his full, rich life. Much of that life has been in basketball, most of it because of basketball, but it also has brought him forward as a coach who has proved academic responsibility and production of championship college athletic teams not only can co-exist but should.
His excitement as things start anew for him at Texas Tech is matched here by his characteristic frankness and remarkable recollection of a life he clearly has enjoyed. You’ll see why, as he tells story after story – some delightful, some hilarious, some poignant, none of them dull.
