Had a chance to see him/meet him at a coaching clinic right around 2001. He spoke for about 3 hours and then just sorta' hung around and talked for another hour or so. He was a wonderful storyteller. He talked about is wife, his family, and the toll that his coaching career took on all of them, as well as his memories (both good and bad) of many of the young men that played for him at Indiana.
I don't doubt that the guy was a tyrant, but on that night, he was incredibly gracious and polite to the mob of coaches that were there to see him. He commented about how at ease he was in that environment, being out of the public eye and away from the media. It's not often that you get to hang around a legend, and Bob Knight did not disappoint.
(Unlike Mike Krzyzewski, who was a colossal dick all 3 times I met him.)
