He went to Chiang Mai, Thailand, after Saudi Arabia(?). Very interesting guy.

Yes, he could have been the Dos Equis spokesperson. I remember having some conversations with Alibrat but can't recall if it was on line or in person.
Was he a Blarney Rock attendee?

I see alibrat up there. He goes way back to the old AOL board. He hasn’t posted in over 10 years. The last time we messaged each other he was teaching abroad for a number of years. The Middle East and the Far East.
He was also an author.

If Tom is still around, he would be in his 80’s by now.

His name comes up with a lot of his books and different writing if you do a search on the google, but nothing to indicate any recent info that I could find at first glance.

I found his Facebook page and he last posted in 2024.

Also, if he is still with us, he will turn 85 this year

Mostly, I like Knight because he gives the straight gen about the game and difuses some of the crazy talk on the chat room and on this board. In the chat room tonight, several people wanted KJo yanked or never to take another 3 pt shot after the first 5 minutes of the game. Knight continually talked about what an accomplished and heady ballplayer he is. Obviously, KJo won the game for us. Just one example.

How did people find a thread from 2012 and revive it?

I went to HS with Tom’s nephew. We had some great private chats back in the day. We’re both Eastwood dudes.

There’s a search feature. It was revived to post an announcement that IU is building a statue of him
