INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Bob Knight is returning to Indiana after all.
The former Hoosiers coach will speak at a Dec. 17 fundraiser in Indianapolis to benefit the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame.
The event comes less than six weeks after Knight missed a ceremony inducting him into Indiana University's athletics Hall of Fame in Bloomington.
Knight's exclusion from the IU hall had been a contentious issue
since then-President Myles Brand fired him in September 2000 for

Knight said he would not attend the ceremony because he did

Tickets to the Indianapolis fundraiser are $50 for adults and $30 for children 12 and under.
Call the New Castle, Ind., hall at (765) 529-1891 for information.
