Bobby Knight Resigns!

[Verb]

Just read it on the internet--not sure if it's true or not. Am trying to find confirmation.

[Verb]

Guess it's true:

Holy crap.

[Verb]

Wonder if we'll hear what brought about that turn of events? Curiouser and curiouser...

[Mr. Orange-Power]

I just heard that as well on the Sports Animal. Coach Tubbs said he talked to Coach Knight when his team was down in Norman. Bobby told Billy he was tired.

Tubbs guessed he just wanted to get to 900 and call it quits.


ORANGE-POWER!!!

Wow!

[wickerbill]

We were his last win. He probably saw us on the schedule and knew he could go out with a win by retiring right after Tech played us. :)

You guys see the fan commentary at the end of that story?

[frankeaton]

did his son ever play collage ball? at least Sean was team captain and played the game

[frankeaton]

I stand corrected:

PAT KNIGHT PLAYING/COACHING EXPERIENCE
Season(s) Team Position
1991-95 Indiana Player
1996 Phoenix (NBA) Admin. asst./scout
1997 Connecticut (CBA) Assistant coach
1997-98 Wisconsin (IBL) Head coach
1998 Columbus (USBL) Head coach
1998-2000 Indiana Assistant coach
2000-01 Akron Assistant coach
2001-05 Texas Tech Assistant coach
2005-08 Texas Tech Head coach designate

[wickerbill]

He actually has coaching experience away from his Dad.

[CoachOSU]

Odd way of transitioning his son into being head coach....

Just a thought but would he have done this had he been ranked in the top 10 and in contention for a Big12/ National title????

[Boss 24]

Attention Sean haters...get your rumor mill cranking that Bobby is coming here.

[Verb]

You're too late. I've already seen that idea posted on *another* board. :D
