Legendary Indiana college basketball coach Bobby Knight appeared on the campaign trail once again and introduced Republican front-runner Donald Trump at a Thursday campaign rally. Knight praised Trump and said, "that son bitch could play for me."



"I was very, very selective with players during the time I was here. And I'll tell you one thing, that man who was just up here a moment ago, I tell you that son bitch could play for me," Knight said to applause.



"This was a real neat thing for me because I have for some time leading up to where we are now felt that above anything else this country needed Donald Trump," Knight said.



Earlier, Trump had spoken about Knight reaching out to him to run before he had announced his presidential bid.



"I have never voted," Knight told the audience. "I'm not here to represent the Republican party. Quite frankly, I could give a damn about the Republicans. And on the other hand I don't give a damn about the Democrats, either."



"I really think that we have, as Americans, a great opportunity, not to represent a political party, but pick the best man that we have available to lead the United States back."



"This man, he's not a Republican or Democrat, at heart he is just a great American," Knight added.
