Bobby Knight has resigned from Texas Tech, effective immediately
Shocking!
His son will take over.

Its a shame that he could not retire as coach of the Indiana Hoosiers.

Re: Bobby Knight has resigned from Texas Tech, effective immediately
That's terrible. He's the BEST basketball coach of our generation, if not of all time.
Does this mean he wants to go somewhere better, or is he retiring?

What happened that caused him to resign?

Compare his graduation rate to the rest of the country--esp. at top-flight, big-name programs--and tell me again who the jerk is.

Re: Bobby Knight has resigned from Texas Tech, effective immediately
He may be a jerk to some...or comes across as one, but his players, current and former had/have his back.
Not everybody can say that.

I used to work in Assembly Hall, tutoring students in a computer lab. I had enough contact with him to say affirmatively that he is a jerk. But if I had played ball for him, maybe my attitude would be different because the story with Bob is basically that if you are not part of his world, you are useless.

Re: Bobby Knight has resigned from Texas Tech, effective immediately
His job was to graduate players and win basketball games.
Nobody's done a better job than Bob Knight. Nobody did it as pure as Knight, either.

Re: Bobby Knight has resigned from Texas Tech, effective immediately
Never said he wasn't a good coach or that he wasn't concerned about academics, which is admirable.
I just saying that he's jerk with huge anger management issues. That's pretty much as indisputable as is the rest of his record.
