Coach K

No, not that one, this Coach K.

What about him? Well, last night Steph, her dad, and I went to eat at a steak house in Manhattan called Sir Scott's Oasis. I've been there a few times before and it is probably my favorite restaurant out here. They have great steaks and awesome steak fingers (steak strips battered and deep fried).

Well, we all sit down and start parusing the menu when Mr. Jordan notices that sitting at the next table is none other than Bobby Knight, illustrious ex-coach of the U of Indiana men's basketball team. (and current coach at Texas Tech)

The place was packed, even at 9pm, but we could hear Bobby over the din for most of the night. He was at a table with 7 other people, it looked like 4 couples. The ladies were mostly at one end of the table having their own quiet conversations, but I'm not sure if any man other than Knight got a word in all night. He told sports celebrity stories the whole time. Ranging from Tony LaRussa and George Brett (who he knows very well) to Mickey Mantle and the DiMaggio family to various basketball stories.

He was kind of how I would expect him to be at the table, loud and in control. Now, we don't know who else was at the table, but he was by far the most famous one and he's got lots and lots of money, but they all asked for separate checks. Like I said, we don't know who those other people were, but it struck our table as odd.

Anyway, that made a good night even a little more interesting.
