Despite his firing in 2000, Bob Knight, former Indiana University basketball coach, will be inducted into Indiana’s Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Knight will be inducted into the university’s athletics Hall of Fame nearly a decade after he was fired for violating a zero-tolerance policy imposed by then-IU President Myles Brand.<\/p>\n

New athletic director Fred Glass said in a statement:<\/p>\n

“I am honored to have been a part of selecting this outstanding class of tremendous coaches and student-athletes”. “For my first Hall of Fame class to include heroes from my childhood as well as my student days is a dream come true.”<\/p>\n

Knight could not be reached Saturday, but should be available for comment on Monday.<\/p>\n
