The Bob Knight Story Dakich Never Told | Sage Steele Show

Sage Steele sits down with Dan Dakich, the former Indiana Hoosier, longtime ESPN college basketball analyst, and host of Don't At Me on Outkick, for one of the most candid conversations she has had on the show. Dakich tells the Bob Knight story he has kept private for 40 years, including the night in the locker room that nearly ended his career, and reflects on 16 complicated years with the legendary coach, the recruiting visit that broke their relationship, and how he made peace with it before Knight passed. He and Sage compare notes on their overlapping years at ESPN, what really changed the network after 2020, why leadership failed at the highest levels, and the Ryan Clark saga. Then Dakich unloads on the WNBA, the mishandling of Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham, the America 250 patch decision, and why a lack of leadership is costing the league its biggest moment. He closes with the loss of his father, the legal-pad reckoning that changed how he lives, and the two-word family motto that has carried him through firings, divorce, and everything else. New episodes of The Sage Steele Show every week.
