Former Indiana coach Bob Knight is getting $75,000 from private donors to settle his lawsuit against the university for what he claimed was inappropriate defense from the entity when he was sued by a former assistant coach, according to a Rivals.com report.
Knight admitted to shoving his former assistant Ron Felling in 1999 after hearing him criticize his coaching and settled with him by paying him $25,000 in 2002. A letter from Indiana states that the settlement with Knight is a reimbursement for the former coach’s expenses from the lawsuit.
