'Thank you, Coach!' Bob Knight greeted to chants and cheers at Hoosier Basketball Fan Fest
Bob Knight is becoming a regular sight at Assembly Hall.
A few weeks after joining men's basketball coach Mike Woodson at practice, Knight was back Saturday as part of the inaugural Hoosier Basketball Fan Fest.
Knight was part of an event sponsored by the Mark Cuban Foundation. Proceeds from ticket sales supported IU basketball players as part of the NIL rules, as well as the Bloomington Boys and Girls Club.

In a twist I did not expect for the fall, I’m waaaay more excited to be taking the kids to @HoosierHystrcs’s #iubb FanFest than I am for the Michigan #iufb game. I’m currently trying to explain who Bob Knight is.
