Atlanta ? Bob Knight would consider returning to the sideline if the right coaching opportunity presented itself.
“It has to be a situation that I think is right for me and one where I would be right for the university,” Knight told ESPN Radio. “It has to be one, from my standpoint, where I think we would have the wherewithal to recruit and be able to compete with anybody.”
His name has been linked to the opening at Georgia, but Knight, who resigned as Texas Tech coach almost a year ago, said he has had no contact with the Bulldogs.
And Georgia hasn’t said it’s interested in Knight.
“You know, never say never,” Knight said during Monday night’s broadcast on ESPN2 of the Tennessee-Oklahoma women’s game. “I’ve always said if I had a chance and it was a good one and I was good for the situation, I’d be interested.”
