(CNN) Legendary and controversial former college basketball coach Bob Knight returned Saturday to the home court of the school that fired him 20 years ago. He was there to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Indiana University's 1980 Big Ten championship team, which Knight coached. Fans, both young and old, gave Knight a standing ovation as he walked across the court in Indiana's Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall, where the Hoosiers were taking on Purdue University. The team ultimately lost 74-62. Knight had not returned to Assembly Hall since he was dismissed, missing major moments in the program's history, including the 40th anniversary of the 1976 undefeated Indiana team in 2016.
