Famed Indiana Hoosiers basketball coach and Trump-backer Bobby Knight appeared on MSNBC Thursday morning to stump for Trump.



Asked why he is backing Trump he said: "I just like the United States and I like being an American. And I would really like to have an opportunity to do something that I think would be good for America."



"I've gotten a lot of enjoyment over having some effect that would help our country."



"I think he’s smart. I think he’s tough. I think he loves America. I think this is a real American we’re talking about here, and I think he brings a lot of things to the table. You know, he’s a tough guy. Not everybody is going to appreciate him, but I have been around him enough to know that this is the kind of guy that I would like to see being involved in decisions that are affecting the United States," Knight explained.
