Mr. Knight Takes His Sweater To The Cleaners

Bob Knight resigned from his head coaching job at Texas Tech yesterday.

The move, made with at least ten games left in the season, leaves his son as the successor of the squad.

"There's a transition that's going to take place here from me to Pat and I've dwelt on this all year long ... how it would be best for him and for the team and for what we can do in the long run to make this the best thing for Texas Tech," Knight told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, which first reported the resignation.

Knight told the newspaper that health concerns did not prompt his decision, but he jokingly added, "I feel better today than I did on Saturday."

He was probably going to retire after the season, but nobody expected him from leaving the school when they still have a chance to make it into March Madness.

I will miss Bob Knight if this is indeed the last we will see of him on the hardwood.

Here are some video gems for you to enjoy, with cussing of course...
