A Small Follow Up and tribute to Bobby Knight

Here are some updates from previous posts:

1. If you have not heard, my prediction for the Patriots did not happen. Congrats to Eli Manning though. The Massachusetts people are taking it better than I thought. Wonder how the Celtics are doing? Not sure, but I get to go see Duke and BC play tomorrow!!!! The women's teams. Last year, I got to see the men. Pray for me as I will probably be the only one in blue.

2. I have not completed a bucket list yet, BUT, on Sunday, I was able to laugh hard enough that I cried. Spend some time with sugar high youth and you will laugh too! I didn't pee in my pants, but there were tears.

3. I am sorry that John Edwards is gone. Gotta love the North Carolina acccnt! However, the other two seemed to be getting along with one another based on the last debate. Good to know that this can happen. Is this the "Dream Ticket"?
NOW it feels good to see that we are going to make history and better yet, we have two wonderful options to consider. When was the last time we had that?? But I never thought I would hear Ann Coulter "cheering for Hillary" in the terribly sarcastic, arrogant, deprecating way that she does. I bet Elizabeth Edwards is laughing today. Not sure if Ann in the Hillary corner is a good thing for Democrats but it's not saying much for the republicans.

4. I can't leave this day if I did not mention a small tribute to Coach Bobby Knight who resigned from coaching this past Monday. A winner of 902 games and leading man in the NCAA, he is a great and loyal coach to his team and colleagues. The only person ahead of him in wins is the great Pat Summit, women's coach from Tennessee. How bout that???
Yes, he had his moments, but who hasn't? He never broke any league rules, never cut corners in recruiting - he did it by the book. He demanded the best from his teams and got it. He can also take credit for the work that he did to develop Coach K into the coach that he has become. Coach Krzyzewski played under Knight at Army and later assisted him at Indiana.
Should I be as demanding in my leadership as he? Probably not and probably never will be. Maybe I should though. Is it wrong to ask for the best from people when they made a commitment to do just that? No.

Congratulations Coach Knight! Now, let's go fishing!!!!
