Bob Knight Will Not Attend IU Hall of Fame Induction

Bob Knight says no thanks.

According to ESPN analyst and friend Dick Vitale via twitter, former Indiana head men's basketball coach Bob Knight will not attend the school's first ever athletic Hall of Fame introduction. The university and athletic department had planned to induct Knight, along with many other Hoosier greats, on November 7, 2009, during halftime of the Indiana vs. Wisconsin football game.

Despite the latest news, IU will still welcome back the likes of former men's soccer coach Jerry Yeagley (1973-2004), Steve Downing (men's basketball, 1971-73), Katrin Koch (women's track and field, 1989-92), Joe Norman (football, 1975-78), the family of late Mike Rabold (football, 1956-58), and Alan Somers (swimming, 1961-63).
