Story highlights The retired basketball coach praised Trump's business experience

Knight's comments come the day after the GOP front-runner bested rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich in Indiana

(CNN) Legendary Indiana basketball coach Bobby Knight, a Donald Trump supporter, said Wednesday he was not concerned about the businessman's rhetoric or the Republican Party unifying behind him.

Asked by CNN's John Berman about Trump's controversial remarks and how they might affect him as the nominee, Knight dismissed the criticism.

"That doesn't really mean anything to me right now," Knight said on "New Day," "because we're talking about a guy that I think can handle things far better than anything we've had recently."

He added, "I'll tell you one thing about Donald Trump: There will never be a Benghazi in a Donald Trump administration."

Knight's comments come the day after the GOP front-runner bested rivals Ted Cruz and John Kasich in Indiana, becoming the party's presumptive nominee.
