"ANN ARBOR -- Just like his legendary tact, old rivalries die hard for Bob Knight.
Knight, the outspoken former Indiana head basketball coach, was in Grand Rapids on Monday.
An ardent supporter of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, he was charged with warming up the crowd and introducing Trump during a Michigan rally.Along the way, Knight decided to acknowledge any Wolverines fans in the house.
"I went to Ohio State instead of one of your favorite schools," Knight told the crowd, according to MLive Grand Rapids reporter Lauren Gibbons.
The crowd immediately responded with a heavy boo.
Knight, in turn, responded: "You know we beat your ass most every time we played you."
Indeed, Knight attended and played at Ohio State from 1960-1962.
...Knight ultimately won back the Michigan fans in attendance on Monday, daring cheers as he introduced Trump."
