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...

Top ten soundbites according ESPN:


"Try to help you young guys in this profession you have chosen that is one or two steps above prostitution." - Knight on journalists. Classic.

Bobby Knight Owns All

Many people are not big fans of Bob Knight... I am not one of those people. Dude fires me up, makes me laugh, and gives me something to talk about.

The following is the video of him hunting with his buddy, and a nearby resident not taking kindly to Bob Knight dropping pellets in his pool:


I have to agree with Bob on this one. He was doing nothing wrong and the house owner does not own all the land. He pointed out where he was shooting and he did not shoot in the direction of the dude's house.

The homeowner just wanted his 15 seconds of fame.

I am surprised Bob did not shoot the dude.
