Bob Knight is being reported to have Alzheimer’s and is pretty bad in late stages. He probably wouldn’t know where he is.

No way that’s true. I’ve seen an interview from just 2 years ago and I saw no signs of dementia whatsoever. He was his normal self, sharp as he ever was.

Edit: Don’t know why people are downvoting.. 2 years is not late-stage Alzheimer’s. My grandma had it and lived 7 years after she was diagnosed. And she had been showing signs for probably a year before she was diagnosed.

Knight wouldn’t go from showing no symptoms 2 years ago to being in the late stages today. The timeline just doesn’t add up.
