Former Indiana coach Bob Knight attends practice as season tipoff nears

During practice in Assembly Hall on Thursday, former IU coach Bob Knight wrapped his arm around Mike Woodson. As the two sat next to each other, a smile crept across Woodson’s face.

With just 12 days until the start of the 2021-22 season, Woodson posted a picture of himself and his former coach on social media Thursday night.

“Just like old times, Coach!” Woodson wrote on Twitter. “It was an honor having you at practice today Bobby Knight!”

Knight coached at Indiana from 1971-2000 before being dismissed by university president Myles Brand. During his tenure at Indiana, Knight helped lead the Hoosiers to three national champions and 11 Big Ten titles.
