Knox named Ben Davis as its new head men's basketball coach. Davis spent last season as the head coach at former Division III member Green Mountain College, which is closing at the end of the semester.
Knox sank 10 shots from 3-point range but Western Illinois used its superior athleticism and size to roll to a 97-54 exhibition win on November 2 at Western Hall.
Rob Purlee, who has coached Knox to nine wins in four seasons, is leaving to take a job on the Otterbein men's basketball staff, leaving the position truly open for the first time in decades.
The Knox community has lost a long-time friend and coach, as Tim Heimann, a 1970 graduate of the institution and men's basketball coach for 24 years, died Friday, March 13, at home.
