    In the coming weeks we will share some of the classic Knight interviews through the years.

    Below is an interview with Dan Rather on 60 Minutes that aired in March of 1980, just after IU won the Big Ten championship.

    The in depth profile goes into Knight’s unique style as a coach, his relationship with the media, and much more.  It even includes some brief footage of Knight and Rather playing one-on-one.
