New meaning to TV Knight?

Bobby Knight's character could be coming to a sitcom near you. While his on and off court antics have often been called comical, outlandish and outrageous, they may finally become appropriate.

CBS and Paramount Television are in the early stages of development on a sitcom that would feature Knight's character, and perhaps even Knight, himself. The show has not yet secured a writer.

The idea marks another turn in the sports entertainment trend. ESPN's show "Playmakers" is now off the air after one season, and the network's new feature production "Hu$tle," chronicling the rise and fall of Pete Rose, is scheduled to air on Sept. 25.
