Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight resigns

LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech coach Bob Knight resigned Monday and his son Pat will take over the program.
Chris Cook, a spokesman for athletic director Gerald Myers confirmed the resignation, which was first reported by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
Bob Knight has 902 career wins, more than any coach in the history of Division I men's basketball. Win No. 900 came last month against Texas A&M. The Red Raiders are 12-8 this season.
The 67-year-old Knight has been a head coach for 42 years at three Division I schools. He got his 100th victory at Army, then moved to Indiana, where his Hoosiers went 662-239 and won three national championships from 1971-2000.
His first NCAA title came in 1976 when Indiana went undefeated, a feat no team has done since. In 1984, he coached the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in Los Angeles.
Knight, known as much for his fiery temper as his coaching brilliance, came to Texas Tech in March 2001, six months after being fired by Indiana for what school officials there called a "pattern of unacceptable behavior."
He began his coaching career in 1965 at Army, where at 24 he was the youngest-ever Division I coach.

look at his next games coming up..
i dont think he could stand losing to baylor 
he's gotta retire with a win..
and plus, he finally hit that 900 mark with a&m sadly..
end up with 902 games.. plus he probably has something important to do wednesday night... like watch some t.v show or something..
anything's better than tceh's basketball team.. did i say tceh i meant lubbock community college...
