BRISTOL, Conn. -- Bob Knight will be putting a full-court press on college basketball fans this season, thanks to an expanded role as an ESPN analyst. The Hall of Fame coach, who often treated the media with disdain before joining ESPN last year as a studio analyst for the postseason, will work Thursday night game telecasts, appear on SportsCenter, provide postseason studio analysis and be on ESPN radio.

The network says Knight will also be an analyst for select nonconference games other than Thursday and make onsite appearances on College GameDay.

Knight resigned as coach of Texas Tech on Feb. 4. He also coached at Army and Indiana, where he won three national titles in his 29-year career in Bloomington.

Knight's will appear on College GameDay from Chapel Hill, N.C., on Nov. 18, when Kentucky visits No. 1 North Carolina.
