It took nearly a decade, but Indiana University finally took the first step to heal the severed relationship with Bob Knight.
The man that brought the Hoosiers three Championships and national basketball prominence will be inducted into his rightful place in the University’s Athletic Hall of Fame. The only question that remains, is will Knight show up to the ceremony to honor him in early November?
He’s been vengeful and often stubborn when discussing the school that he spent over three decades coaching. In fact the two sides have often been like spoiled eight year-olds, only both of them are taking their ball and going home.
Now Indiana has extended a long-awaited olive branch to the General and IU fans are desperately hoping that this is the end of a long stand-off.
Bob Knight is a prideful man, a man that has held his ground and acted however he wanted while saying whatever he wanted for his entire career.
But this time Bobby, don’t think about yourself. Think about this Indiana program that you helped take to new heights, and an IU fanbase which has been undyingly loyal to you through every controversy.
For once, Bob Knight should bury his pride and along with it, bury the hatchet.
