Something took place last Saturday night at IU\’s Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana that many fans didn\’t think would ever happen again. The return of legendary men\’s basketball coach, Bobby Knight. After 20 years, the coach finally came back to the court that he knew all too well, with a rush of emotions. Knight had said that he would never return after being fired in 2000. Too much bad blood between The General and certain members of IU\’s administration. But thanks to Knight\’s son, Pat and a few others, the return was made possible. True IU basketball fans understand the importance of this reunion. We\’re talking about a coach who helped bring IU three national titles, 5 Final Four appearance, 11 Big Ten Championships and a record number of wins. This needed to happen, not just for the fans, but for coach Bobby Knight~
