Fly Fishing with Coach Knight

April 6, 2013 By: Erin Block

With a reputation as one of the best coaches in college basketball history, Bob Knight knows about focus and observation—skills he puts to use on the court and on the flats as a fly angler. “You never know if a kid is going to do what you’ve told him to do, and actually, I’ve had flies that have reacted a lot better to my instructions over the years than a lot if the players I’ve had,” says Knight, “so maybe I’m better at fly-fishing than coaching.”  From Fly Fishing in Salt Waters.
