- Steve Alford said tonight there was no way he could get through a phone call to talk about Bob Knight. Instead, he sent me an almost poetic text about the coach he called mentor, father figure, friend. ‘I'm a mess. I loved that man so much' indystar.com/story/sports/c… via @indystar

- Just in: Colts owner Jim Irsay pledges $1 million to IU Health for addiction services state-wide.
- Earlier today, iHeartRadio reversed a firing of sports radio shows in Des Moines. Could Jake Query & Derek Schultz be next to get their show back? If the outpouring of support is enough, maybe, just maybe. There's a petition to sign. indystar.com/story/sports/2… via @indystar
- Shortly after Emry started, head coach Leonard told him: "You know, you're not the coach." Emry's face fell then turned to shock as Leonard went on, "You're like the GM." "GM," Emry said, "a great man." Leonard knew this was going to be amazing. indystar.com/story/sports/c… @indystar
- This is a heartwrenching story, the story of a burly linebacker who wrote poetry and, at the end, as he lay in bed, unable to move or speak wrote: "I wear my mask/ with un-beheld pride/ I wear my mask so the people/ Wonʼt see me cry." indystar.com/story/sports/h… via @indystar
