Knight's request rejected by judge

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) -- A judge rejected Bob Knight's request to reconsider the ruling dismissing the basketball coach's lawsuit against Indiana.
Friday's ruling by Judge Kenneth Todd is the last step for the complaint at the local level. The next step would be for Knight to ask the Indiana Court of Appeals to consider the breach-of-contract lawsuit.
University spokeswoman Jane Jankowski said the school was "pleased the court continues to support our position that we complied with the terms of coach Knight's contract."
Telephone messages were left Saturday at the home and office of Knight's attorney, Russell Yates.
Knight had been the coach at Indiana for 29 years when Myles Brand, then the university president, fired him in 2000.
