BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) - Private donors are giving $75,000 to
Bob Knight to settle a lawsuit he filed against Indiana University
claiming it didn't properly defend him when he was sued by a former
assistant coach.
A letter signed by lawyers for the university and Knight says
the payment offer from anonymous donors would reimburse the former
coach for expenses from the lawsuit by former Knight assistant Ron
Felling.
Knight settled with Felling in 2002 by paying him $25,000 and
admitting that in 1999 he shoved Felling in anger after overhearing
him criticize Knight's coaching and behavior.
Indiana fired Knight in 2000.
