Reports are that Bobby Knight has resigned as head coach of Texas Tech. His son Pat is allegedly taking over the reigns. No reason, as of now, was left to why Knight resigned.

I want to say that it will be sad to not have Coach Knight in college basketball. I don't blame the guy for leaving and I'm glad that he got to go out "his way", as he likes to put it. I was glad the disgraceful treatment he got at Indiana wasn't his final legacy.

Obviously, much can be said and written about Knight and many feel he's a cantacerous old curmudgeon. His bullying ways with his players and the media rubbed many the wrong way. But, I'll say this. Nobody was a better coach. Nobody built finer young men than Knight. Nobody put the emphasis on Students in student-athletes like Knight. He was flawed, for sure, but he always meant well. If I had ever had a son, I'd let him play for Bobby Knight in a heartbeat. Knight, to me, epitomizes college basketball. While the game had started to pass him by, it won't be the same without him.

Go hunting and fishing and spending time with your family Bobby. You've earned it!
