Bob Knight apologized Tuesday for his statements over the weekend about the academic record of the University of Kentucky basketball team.

Knight's apology was posted late Tuesday afternoon in an article on ESPN.com and was also mentioned during the network's SportsCenter show.

"My overall point is that 'one and dones' are not healthy for college basketball," Knight said. "I should not have made it personal to Kentucky and its players and I apologize."

At a speaking engagement in Indiana on Saturday, the Hall of Fame coach blasted Kentucky Coach John Calipari's habit of recruiting players who spend just a year on campus before bolting for the NBA.
