But Williams said he was glad to coach in games against Knight if it meant Knight was still involved in college basketball. "I hated to see a true coaching giant finish like that," Williams said. Williams said he did not agree with the reasons and the way Knight was fired by Indiana two years ago. "Saying that, I was really ecstatic that he was back into coaching. I thought it would be great for our league, great for him personally, that he would be recharged and refreshed. "I'm not trying to act like I'm his bosom buddy. He doesn't take me fishing and I don't take him to golf trips and things like that, but the respect thing is as high as it possibly can be." Drew Gooden was on Jim Rome's national radio show yesterday afternoon and gave a hint about what he might do after this season. Note: The junior forward said it was "high possibility" that he wouldn't return for his senior season, but the decision was a "high priority." Contact Pacey at dpacey@kansan.com.
