Between the morning and afternoon rounds, he whispered in his ear, “Let the legend grow.” These days, the legend o f Tiger W oods is on steroids. “The great thing about Tiger is that he’s always, always going to hang in there and come up with a great shot when he needs it,” said Grant Waite, who had a front-row seat to W oods’ latest heroics Sunday in the Canadian Open. This one was no less spectacular, a shot that only Woods dares to try. Clinging to a one-stroke lead on the par-5 18th at Glen Abbey, he was in a fairway bunker 2 18 yards from the hole, the final 100 yards over water. The ball came off crisp and clean, rocketed into the gray sky and dropped 18 feet behind the flag. “With the tournament on the line, to have the poise and the calm and the confidence to stand there and hit that shot explains basically what Tiger is all about,” said Waite, who finished one stroke behind when his 20-foot Back To School Sale eagle putt curled o ff at the end. “He really doesn’t have to say anything. That explains pretty much what kind o f a person and a gol fer he is,” Waite said. “He is very special.” Woods has been that way all year. It began in H aw aii, the first tournament o f the year, with an eagle- birdie-birdie finish to defeat Ernie Els in a playoff. Every week that followed gave Woods another opportunity to outdo himself, and he almost always delivered. Bobby Knight addresses students outside Assembly Hall on the Indiana University campus early Monday morning, Sept. 11, in Bloomington, Ind., after being dismissed Sunday by IUpresident Myles Brand. Knight set to move, wants to coach Bob Knight is sorry. Sorry to leave Bloomington, that is, because o f all the golf, hunting and fishing the area offered. H e’s also eager to coach again after being fired by Indiana for repeated misconduct. In an interview with The Sporting News, Knight disputed some o f the reasons the university president cited in dismissing him. And the 59-year-old HallofFamer said he might take up an offer to help Isiah Thomas, a former Hoosier star now coaching the Indiana Pacers. Since his dismissal Sunday, Knight has made only one brief public appearance, in Bloomington to speak to students who were protesting his firing He said he planned to talk to students on W ednesday. But he made it clear in the interview with the weekly sports magazine on Monday night that it was time for him and his wife, Karen, to leave. “W e’re going to move,” Knight said. “And that’ll be difficult. I’ve been here since 19 7 1 and I really like the area. I can play golf, I can catch 50 bluegill in an hour. I can go turkey hunting. The place has fit my lifestyle. "Now that’s all wiped out, and I feel worse about that than not having the coaching job.” K n ight, w hose re p la c e m en t, a ssista n t M ike D a v is, w as place since May. Knight denied Brand had any substantive reason to fire him. Knight said Brand cited him for refusing to make public appearances for the university. But Knight said he already had appeared at two alumni fu n c tio n s and had tw o o th e r appearances scheduled. “The third I’m doing Wednesday night, speaking to the students. And I was going to a southern Indiana fund-raiser,” Knight said. Thousands o f boisterous and sometimes unruly students marched on cam pus Sunday night. They fin a lly d isp e rse d a fte r K n ig h t appeared and promised to meet with students.

Thomas, who led Knight’s 1981 team to a national title, has invited Knight to join him on the Pacers’ bench as an assistant coach, and Knight said he would be willing to do so on a limited basis. “Isiah called me and I told him, ‘All you have to do is ask. I don’t know what kind o f commitment I want to make, but if you want me to come to practice, evaluate players, do some scouting, just ask,”’ Knight said.
