Fiery Indiana coach discussed Michigan's Schembechler, Cameron after a Hoosiers practice during his glory days, won first NCAA title game against Orr's maize and blue and loved a good confrontation
I met Bobby Knight in Lakeland during spring training the year after he won the 1981 NCAA title. He came to visit Sparky Anderson. I had only seen him on television and from a distance at Crisler Arena. I was standing next to him and was surprised how big he was. He sure was intimidating.
Very nice story about a very complex personality.

Glad you got to see Knight in a relaxed environment. He was a massive man. Probably set a heck of a pick.
Thanks, Brian. Complex, he was, for sure.
