Description

Bob Garner was a volunteer at the Hoosier Gym in Knightstown, Indiana. His larger than life personality was infectious as he gave tours to tens of thousands of visitors over the years.  He passed away on December 10th and this episode honors his impact on United Basketball, The Hoosier Gym and the Knightstown community.  
In 1985, interest in the gym increased when a film crew descended upon Knightstown, looking for a place to film Hoosiers. The movie told the story of the unique phenomenon known as Hoosier Hysteria — Indiana’s obsession with basketball. The gym provided the perfect setting. About one third of the film was filmed in the gym. As a result of the success of this film, the old Knightstown gymnasium came to be known as the Hoosier Gym.
