LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- Bob Knight resigned Monday as coach at Texas Tech, a stunning midseason move by major college basketball's winningest men's coach.
His son, Pat, a Red Raiders assistant, will take over the program. It was unclear why Knight stepped down.
Chris Cook, a spokesman for athletic director Gerald Myers, confirmed the resignation, which was first reported by the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
"Coach Knight has had a great career. His coaching record speaks for itself. His love for basketball is clear, but most importantly his love for teaching and the students has been a hallmark of his tenure here at Texas Tech," said Sally Logue Post, a spokeswoman for Texas Tech.
Bob Knight has 902 career wins, more than any coach in the history of Division I men's basketball. Win No. 900 came last month against Texas A&M. The Red Raiders are 12-8 this season.
I wonder if he's sick. :(
