Bobby Knight shared a story on the Dan Patrick show today about his interaction with a fan at Michigan State years ago. The fan was notorious for heckling Knight so one year Bob decided to engage in a "conversation" with him. Knight called the fan out of the stands before the game and handed him a few peppermints with the comment "Why don't you chew on these tonight instead of chewing on my xx". The fan stopped his heckling and the two became good friends over the years. The fan even went so far as to get a resolution passed in the Michigan legislature honoring Knight for his years of service to Big 10(+1) basketball.
