Knight, the winningest coach in Hoosiers basketball history, made clear his hatred for his former acquaintances in Indiana's administration when asked if he ever would return to the university.
"Well, I think that I've always really enjoyed the fans and I always will," Knight said on "The Dan Patrick Show" on Friday morning. "On my dying day, I will think about how great the fans at Indiana were. As far as the hierarchy at Indiana University at that time, I have absolutely no respect whatsoever with those people. That in mind, I have no interest in ever going back to that university."
When Patrick informed him most of the officials present during Knight's tenure have left the school, Knight, infamous for his quick temper, dropped the vengeful hammer.
"I hope they're all dead," he said.
Patrick's response, that some of those individuals are in fact dead (including the man responsible for firing Knight in 2000, then-president Myles Brand), did little to appease Knight.
"I hope the rest of them go," he replied.
