A Magical Moment

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Once a coach, always a coach.

Bob Knight, the legendary former head coach of Indiana basketball, the man who helped the Hoosiers to three of their five national championships and won nearly twice as many games as any other basketball coach in Indiana University history, returned to
Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall following a near 20-year absence to the thunderous adoration of a sell-out crowd.

During a ceremony at halftime of the Hoosiers' battle with rival Purdue, former players from the 1979-80 Big Ten championship team and throughout the decades were honored, but it was Knight's appearance that was the highlight.
