Pat Knight has resigned as head coach of the Marian Knights men’s basketball team after a dispute involving his coaching staff.
Knight, the son of late Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight, stepped away from the program after refusing to comply with an administrator’s demand that he fire someone on his staff.
Resignation tied to staffing directive
The resignation centers on Knight’s decision not to carry out the requested staff change. No additional details were provided regarding the identity of the staff member or the nature of the disagreement.
Marian will now move forward without Knight leading the program.
