Days of Knight: How the General Changed My Life

Good book for IU fans

Enjoy reading this book. The author writes well and is a good storyteller. Learned a good bit about the playing for Coach Knight experience. Hope Kirk writes another book; I know I'll read it.

Everyone can enjoy this book. The author has a cute sense of humor and tries to be accurately factual. It is well written, obviously by an educated author. He comes from a small town and has very strong family support. His life changes when Coach Knight notices his talent and work ethic. I really enjoyed this book. I had difficulty putting it down and becme emotional in a few spots. Don't forget to scan through the credits. I will remember this book! Any person remotely interested in any sport will enjoy this read.

This is a great book from someone who saw Coach Bob Knight of Indiana University from many different perspectives...first as a fan, then as a recruited high school athlete, a player for the Indiana Hoosiers. We see Coach Knight as the tough-nose coach everyone knows but also as a father-figure and eventually as a very good friend to his players. I do not read a lot but I started this book and could not put it down until I had finished it. If you have a set of assumptions about Coach Bob Knight, this book will challenge them. You will also be inspired by Coach Knight's loyalty to his players and by Mr. Haston's quiet strength in the face of adversity.

This is quite simply an excellent book that details the teaching and coaching methods Coach Knight has used to win over 900 games and 3 NCAA Championships with close to a 98% graduation rate. Kirk shows a different side of Knight that has been seldom seen over the course of his career. Using detailed notes from his playing days, Kirk shows the level of preparation and instruction Coach Knight used to get the maximum out of his players and the techniques he used to build a winning team. This book is a must-have for any player, coach or IU Basketball fan.

Thank you Kirk for showing us the real legend that Bob Knight was! I loved every page! The General will never be forgotten!

I’m really glad I found this book. I always enjoyed watching Haston play and I’ve been a huge Knight fan since the mid 80’s. I was glad to hear Haston tell the other side of a Coach Knight as well as show how much went in to playing for him.I couldn’t put this book down.

I want to learn more about coach Knight
