Today& #39;s anecdote: If I told this one before, forgive me, but Brian Sloan& #39;s on my mind this morning after Jerry& #39;s death yesterday...After Indiana lost to Cleveland State in NCAA first round in & #39;86, I went w/Bob Knight to his press conference. When it was over, he went straight...

...to the bus. I went back to locker room, knowing players would be going on spring break and I was staying in Syracuse to cover Navy (David Robinson) for The Post. They& #39;d be gone by the time I got back to Bloomington Sunday night. Security guy says, & #39;no media.& #39; Knight had left..

orders to close LR. I said, & #39;I understand you& #39;re following orders, but if you get one of the coaches from inside, they& #39;ll tell you it& #39;s OK.& #39; Guy repeats, & #39;no media.& #39; I ask again. He says, & #39;hey pal get going,& #39; and shoves me. I& #39;m about to get really angry when Brian walks out...

...sees what& #39;s going on and says to guy "Hey, he& #39;s w/ us. Leave him alone." Guy whimpers about & #39;no media,& #39; and Brian points at him and says, & #39;he& #39;s with US; let him in.& #39; Guy backed down instantly. Never forgot that moment.
