What happens when a 6' 9" kid from Lobelville, Tennessee is recruited by legendary basketball coach Bob Knight? Kirk Haston’s life was changed forever with just a two-minute phone call. Containing previously unknown Knight stories, anecdotes, and choice quotes, fans will gain an inside look at the notoriously private man and his no-nonsense coaching style. Which past Hoosier basketball greats returned to talk to and practice with current teams? How did Knight mentally challenge his players in practices? How did the players feel when Knight was fired? In this touching and humorous book, Haston shares these answers and more, including his own Hoosier highs―shooting a famous three-point winning shot against number one ranked Michigan State―and lows―losing his mom in a heartbreaking tornado accident. Days of Knight is a book every die-hard IU basketball fan will treasure.

"Full Disclosure, I grew up in Oklahoma, but was always a huge Bobby Knight fan. This book confirmed that same fandom with very interesting stories of recruiting process and behind the scenes practices, etc.
But one thing I didn't expect was the motivational portion of the book. Was very inspiring and would highly recommend reading it."

Days of Knight How the General Changed My Life Kirk Haston 9780253022271 Books Reviews
- 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.
- I enjoyed the book because of my connection to the author's grandfather and mother. I appreciate reading how Kirk learned and valued a man who was less than perfect in all his language and actions, but had traits that were encouraging and valuable. That is true of every person I meet and me as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the book and have recommended it to others.
- Very Interesting...and inspiring! Every Hoosier and basketball fan will enjoy this book. Join Kirk inside the Indiana locker room and the brain of one of the greatest basketball minds in history, Coach Bob Knight.

Author of "Sales Success" and "Jesus, Take the Wheel" - Excellent read. Insightful and so thoughtful...a documented and well researched book that covers the joy, discouragement, and rewards of college basketball...and the harsh reality of the NBA. With the appropriate sharing of life's personal moments. I heartily recommend this to anyone that wants an objective view of basketball and its impact on life.
- 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.
- If you like IU basketball then you'll enjoy this book... Love reading about coach Bobby Knight and Kirk writes about about his experiences with the coach and what it was like playing for Indiana University..
- Full Disclosure, I grew up in Oklahoma, but was always a huge Bobby Knight fan. This book confirmed that same fandom with very interesting stories of recruiting process and behind the scenes practices, etc.
But one thing I didn't expect was the motivational portion of the book. Was very inspiring and would highly recommend reading it. - I enjoyed the book, but it was very comparable in content to several other Knight books on the market.
