Title: Coach Bobby Knight Selling Championship Rings & More Post by: Marshal Dillon on October 15, 2012, 08:37:52 PM After all those years as a head coach and working on television, he doesn't have enough money? What am I missing?

A collection of the former coach's memorabilia will be auctioned by Steiner Sports Memorabilia. It's part of a sale that features the jersey Yankees pitcher Don Larsen wore while pitching a perfect game in the World Series.

Basketball coaches did not make the real big money until recently but they were still paid well. His time at Texas Tech alone should have set him up pretty good. He has been a regular on ESPN college basketball since he retired from coaching. I don't know where his money went but he is selling some items I would never part with.

He cares more about stuff Ted Williams gave him than 3 NC rings and an Olympic medal. Strange mindset for such great accomplishments. ???

I don't know, Coach Bryant cared more about the ring the Junction Boys gave him than any of the national championship rings.

Plus, those Junction rings were part of his legacy.

he paid a very good friend of mine to take him fishing and he tipped very well at the end of the day . he didn't fork out that kind of money to go fishing if he is hurting for cash ... btw , he is a beast with a fly rod :worship: |
