Knight lawyer files intent to sue IU

By Cory Schouten · Thursday, March 8,2001 7:17 p.m.

A lawyer for former men's basketball coach Bob Knight sent a letter to IU last week saying Knight intends to sue IU President Myles Brand and the IU board of trustees. In the letter, Knight lawyer Russell Yates cites damages of more than $7 million. The notice of intent to sue, obtained today from the University, cites slander, libel, defamation and tortious interference with contracts, stemming from "wrongful termination." It also cites violations of Indiana's Open Door laws and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Yates said a lawsuit will be filed if the University won't negotiate. "I still hope we can resolve it, but (Brand) seems to be dragging his feet in talking to us," Yates said. "We got tired of waiting, and we didn't want to run up against the deadline."

By David Uchiyama · Thursday, March 8,2001 5:33 p.m.

Interim head coach Mike Davis said the Hoosiers could earn a No. 6 seed in the NCAA tournament. Not long ago, he worried about just getting into the tournament. A few weeks before that, he questioned whether he was cut out to coach the Hoosiers. And before that, IU made six field goals in 20 minutes of play. To Davis and the Hoosiers, those events might seem as if they happened centuries ago. The "new" Hoosiers are a confident bunch peaking at just the right time. "They feel they can beat anybody right now," Davis said. "And I feel that way, too."
