Lubbock, Texas — Former Indiana coach Bob Knight plans to visit Lubbock on Thursday, Texas Tech athletics director Gerald Myers said Sunday. Myers said he planned to talk to Knight before then about possible contract terms.
Knight, whose 29-year run at Indiana included three national titles and 11 Big Ten titles, was fired in September for violating a "zero-tolerance" behavior policy.
Myers said behavior would not be addressed in a contract at Tech. In any case, no offer could be made until at least March 23 because state law mandates the position be open for 10 working days.
The job became available on Friday when Tech fired 10-year coach James Dickey, who went 9-19 this year.
James Sowell of Dallas, chairman of Texas Tech's Board of Regents, said Sunday he probably will come to meet with Knight. The regents would have to approve a hiring recommendation from Myers.
