He may not really have Tom Brady’s support, but Donald Trump can count on one well-known sports figure for his support: Bobby Knight, the former Indiana coach and retired ESPN announcer.

In a New York Times Magazine article, a reporter was in Trump’s office when Knight reportedly called him out of the blue.

From the New York Times:

When I walked in, Trump had the legendary college basketball coach Bobby Knight paying homage to him over speaker­phone. Knight, who had never met Trump, apparently called him out of the blue to offer his support. I was slightly dubious about how “out of the blue” this really was, given how perfectly it was timed to my arrival, but Knight delivered a stirring tribute regardless. “No one has accomplished more than Mr. Trump has,” Knight raved after Trump informed him that a reporter was in the room. Trump nodded and motioned to the ­phone and made sure I had my recorder running. “What a great honor, man,” Trump said. “I will talk to you soon, and I won’t forget that you called. Thanks, Bobby.”

The news of Knight’s support, which may not garner as much goodwill as Brady’s, comes as the Patriots quarterback backed off his previous claims of being a Trump supporter. “One way or another, it’s so far away from when the election will be,” he said. “Whatever I vote is going to be my own personal choice based on how I feel. I don’t even know what the issues are. I haven’t paid attention to politics in a long time. It’s actually not something that I really even enjoy. It’s way off my radar.”
