NEWARK, N.J. –– Rutgers Athletic Director Tim Pernetti and St. John’s Athletic Director Chris Monasch might want to pick up the phone and give Bob Knight a courtesy call.
Pat Knight, Bob’s son and head coach at Texas Tech, said his father would consider coaching again and interested schools should give him a ring.
“If I’m St. John’s or Rutgers, to me, you gotta be an idiot … if you’re an AD or president, it doesn’t hurt to call,” Knight told SNY.tv exclusively after his Red Raiders hammered Seton Hall, 87-69, in a first-round NIT game at the Prudential Center.

“Man, I never got someone even knee me that hard in a practice by accident. He just took a swing,” said Darko Cohadarevic.**Elsewhere in the NIT, senior guard Jerome Dyson scored 13 of his 18 points in the second half as Jim Calhoun’s current team, UConn survived his old outfit, Northeastern, 59-57, in Storrs.
