Texas Tech coach Bob Knight said on Sporting News Radio he would have fired Indiana coach Mike Davis if he had been at the school one more season, Fox Sports and ESPN reported.
Knight reportedly also said he stayed at Indiana too long because of players he liked, despite reservations he had about the administration.
"I stayed at Indiana six years too long because of the administration. The administration handled a lot of things poorly," Knight said on Sporting News Radio, Fox Sports and ESPN reported. "I was working for an athletic director (former IU AD Clarence Doninger) that didn't know his (expletive) from third base. I ended up staying because of the kids that I liked and the people I did like rather than focusing on the real negatives there."
Knight said on the radio that he didn't think much of Indiana coach Davis, who was one of his assistants at the school and his successor.
"They created that for themselves," Knight said. "The guy that's coaching there is a guy that I told Pat (Knight, his son) we were going to replace at the end of the season. There's no way that I would have kept the guy any longer than that. That's their problem."
Indiana spokesperson Pete Rhoda told ESPN that Davis would have no comment.
