Casual talk in the office about the NCAA Basketball Tournament. Vance is an Ohio St. fan. I'm cheering for Butler because ....well, Hinkle Field House all that.
Me: Vance, you know Thad Motta (OSU Coach) used to coach at Butler. Went from there to OSU.
Vance: Really? I saw one game when I went to OSU. But it was right after Havilcek and Lucas left.
Me: Hey, you know who else was on that team? Bobby Knight.
Vance: Really? I didn't know that.
(Vance pulls out his fancy phone and uses the voice activated search. "Bobby Knight," he says. Results come up. He reads them).
Vance (Astounded): Oh my gosh! I can't believe this. It says Knight was at Cuyahoga Falls High School (in Ohio) for one year, 1962-63. That's my high school. I was there then!
Me: Wow! That is awesome!
Vance: Come to think of it. I think he might have been the guy that ran our Study Hall then and was always giving me detention.
Me: Did he slide the chair across the room at you?
Vance: I think he did!
Me: I love it! The General! Bobby Knight! Give me five Vance! You Rock!
