The former Hoosiers coach will speak at a Dec. 17 fundraiser in
Indianapolis to benefit the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
The event comes less than six weeks after Knight missed
a ceremony inducting him into Indiana University’s athletics Hall of Fame in Bloomington.
Knight’s exclusion from
the IU hall had been a contentious issue since then-President Myles Brand fired him in September 2000 for violating a zero-tolerance
policy.
Knight said he would not attend the ceremony because he did not want to detract from the other inductees.
Tickets to the Indianapolis fundraiser are $50 for adults and $30 for children 12 and under. Call the New Castle-based
hall at (765) 529-1891 for information.
