Godspeed Bobby Knight

Max Effgen, November 1, 2023

Legendary basketball coach Bob Knight spoke at Fenwick for a “coaches clinic” on the one Saturday weekend in spring that I was not playing water polo in 1989. It was during my junior year. Coach Knight was the premier basketball coach at that time having won his third NCAA title with Indiana in 1987. I took copious notes. The following Monday, I was asked if I would share my notes with Coach Knight as he was looking for feedback. I did it without thinking. When I got the notes back I tucked them away so that nothing would happen to them. Looking at them now, I wish I had kept them out in the open and re-learned from them like I am now.

My current favorite quote: Winning or losing is a habit.
