Former Texas Tech coach Bob Knight to appear at Donald Trump rally

As reality star Donald Trump campaigns in Indiana in his attempt to lock up the Republican nomination for president, he will have an ace in the hole -- Hall of Fame coach Bob Knight -- there to help him win the state's primary.

A former Texas Tech coach, Knight made his name in his 30 years at the University of Indiana, during which he won three national championships. He has a lot of goodwill in the Hoosier State and will use that to help Trump try to win the election.

The news, first reported by AOL News, was confirmed by the Trump campaign as it announced that Knight would join the candidate at a Wednesday-night rally at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
