I moved to Southern Indiana (it was moved back for my parents) in 1972. Coach Knight at IU is what I knew from a very young age. Went in the USAF in 86. Very few ever heard of Salem, Indiana... but everyone knew Bobby Knight.
I remember coming home on leave at Christmas, early 2000's. Came off the Salem Square going north on Main Street, local clothing/sporting goods store on the west side of the street (has all the bling for the three high schools in the county.) Looked at the window as I made the turn, almost all the merch I saw was Texas Tech. To say Bobby Knight made a major impact on the 812 is a bit of an understatement.
