WANT A PIECE OF KNIGHT? KNI

That Bo Bob Knight is one charming dude, i isn’t he? The infamous coach, as well we known for bullying as he is for is su successful basketball programs, took a shot at sports memorabilia collecto collectors last week — even as he was trying to sell championship rings, trophies and other souvenirs from his controversial career at Indiana.

“I guess the these are people who want to own things things, things that are the results of what someone else did in sports,” Knight Knigh told the Indianapolis Star last week.

More than 600 6 Knight items will be included in Ste Steiner Sports’ current auction (the main attraction is Don Larsen’s uniform from his perfect game in the 1956 World Series). Online bidding h has already begun; the auction ends next month. Au Auction house chief Brandon Steiner tells The Score that Knight, now an ESPN commentator, isn’t broke. He’s simply trying to raise money for his grandchildren’s college tuition.

The Knight collection includes a couple of less-than-traditional collectibles, including a business card from his years at Army, a garish red sports coat Knight wore during a game, and sideline chairs from the 1976 and 1981 Final Fours. Whatever happened to that red plastic chair he angrily tossed across the Indiana court in 1985 that earned him a one-game suspension from the Big Ten?

WHY THEY GO TO EXTREMES

The whole gymnastics thing never worked out for Simon Dumont when he was growing up in Bethel, Maine. “Too competitive. It was work, work, work. I was too young to be feeling like that,” the 26-year-old Dumont told The Score last week at The James Hotel in SoHo. Dumont decided to switch to a sport more suited to his geography. When he took a trip to Califoria in his early y teens to watch his brother in a snowboard ard nationals competition, Dumont t got noticed by several skiing professionals. A year later, he qualified for the X Games at age 14, and has been one of the veteran stars of “freeskiing,” which involves acrobatic aerials in the e halfpipe and slopestyle events.

Torin Yater-Wallace was born when the year Derek Jeter made his major league debut, began skiing in his hometown of Aspen, Colo. two years later (1997) and is one of freeskiing’s emerging stars. “When I was 7, I started skiing moguls competitively until I was 12. Then there was a movement where moguls were dying down and not cool anymore. The new era was halfpipe and slopestyle. I was all into it. I fully switched over. Now I’m 16, and have been doing the halfpipe ever since,” Yater-Wallace told The Score.

Both skiers are names to remember as the 2014 Sochi, Russia Winter Games approach. Those Olympics will feature the skiing halfpipe event for the first time in medal competition and Dumont — who is considered ancient in his sport — and Yater-Wallace (a Spicoli clone) are setting their sights on representing the U.S. Yater-Wallace is recovering from right shoulder surgery, but should be back in action by January.

“I’d love to win Olympics,” said Dumont. “Initially I used to do every aspect -slopestyle, halfpipe, big air. Now that I’m getting older, I’ve started to focus on halfpipe. It’s always come pretty easy to me. I’m on the tail end of my career. I don’t feel old, but they’re telling me I’m old.”

Dumont and Yater-Wallace were in Manhattan as part of a group of action/extreme sports athletes sponsored by Target, which is celebrating its 50th year. While most New Yorkers may not recognize Motocross stud Ryan Dungey, 2011 Women’s World Champion surfer Carissa Moore, BMX veteran Kevin Robinson and skateboard god Paul Rodriguez (aka P-Rod), they are accomplished stars in their respective sports. Robinson even broke the world height record (27 ft.) in Central Park four years ago.

“The great thing about action sports, you don’t have coaches screaming at us,” said Robinson, 40, a father of three and a Providence, R.I. native. “It’s up to yourself to persevere, pick yourself up. It teaches life lessons at a young age.”

TAILGATING & SHUTTLING

The Nets never brought many fans to the Meadowlands, but ever since they left, businesses in the swamps of Jersey are hurting to keep the cash flowing in. It doesn’t help that the Devils and Seton Hall basketball left for Newark, too.

That’s why nearby Redd’s Restaurant & Bar had to get creative and started what it’s calling “Redd’s Tailgate Experience.”

For years, fans without Meadowlands parking passes have been parking in Redd’s lot and have been shuttled to and from gam games for a fee of $30. Now, those sa same fans can get an all-you-cane eat tailgate party for an additional $10. Those who get dropped off at Redd’s and don’t need to park a car there can pay the $10 fee and will get shuttled over to the s stadium for free. Pickups continue at the stadium until 2 a.m. P Prior to 1 p.m. games, Redd’s serves up omelets and traditional breakfast meals as well as some traditional tailgate fare. Prior to 4 p.m. and later games, dishes like chicken and sausage are served with all the traditional tailgate trimmings.

Although the restaurant had its liquor license extended to cover the parking lot, the $10 tailgate fee does not include drinks. For more information, visit www.reddsrestaurant.com.

THE WRIGHT LESSON

Since he joined the Mets in 2004, David Wright can’t remember how many favors Shannon Forde has done for him. The Mets’ third baseman is finally glad he can do a little something for Shannon, who has worked in the team’s media department for the last 18 years.

Wright has donated a half-hour batting lesson to the online auction being run in conjunction with the Nov. 1 fund-raiser for Shannon, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. To bid for the experience with Wright go to www.charitybuzz.com/ auctions/shannon.

“Shannon has helped me with events for my foundation, last- minute things before a game and a million other things,” Wright said. “I will tell you this, whoever wins the auction will get the best batting lesson that I have ever given because it will be for Shannon.”

For ticket information go to www. hopeshinesforshannon.com. Tickets for the dinner at Westmount Country Club in Woodland Park, N.J., are $100.
