Carlos Knox

Biography

Knox was a two-time NCAA scoring champion, NCAA All-American and NCAA Player of the Year. His jersey has been retired at IUPUI, and the team became a Division I program just after his graduation due in part to Knox's contributions. He was inducted into the IUPUI Hall of Fame in 2004. Knox played for the Indiana Pacers from 1998-99 and played overseas in Croatia, Germany, Venezuela and Italy. He has also served as a head coach in the International Basketball League, Continental Basketball Association and American Basketball Association. Prior to Notre Dame, Knox spent nearly a decade working with the Indiana Fever as an interim head coach, assistant coach and player development coach. During his tenure in Indianapolis, Knox helped lead the team to eight consecutive WNBA playoff appearances and was a 2012 WNBA champion. He has worked with many notable players, including former Irish guard and Olympic medalist Skylar Diggins, four-time Olympic gold medalist Tamika Catchings and five-time WNBA All-Star Katie Douglas. Between coaching stints, Knox spent time from 2015-16 as the director of training at the Jonathan Byrd Grand Park Fieldhouse, Indiana's state-of-the-art basketball facility.
