I was studying for my organic chemistry test in Forest's formal lounge when one of my friends informed me that Bobby Knight, legendary Indiana basketball coach had resigned from his current post as coach of Texas Tech. Wow, what a sudden end to such an amazing carreer. I looked up an article about Coach Knight's resignation on IndyStar.com, and it seems that he turned his team over to his son, Pat. I'm really pretty shocked about this decision, in the middle of the season none the less. I suppose all good things have to end sometime.
I was never a really big Bobby Knight fan growing up, but my dad certainly was. Apart from the three NCAA championships Indiana won under the coaching of Knight, his fierce temper generally stands out in people's minds. I still remember the chair throwing incident... While this may be the case, I think Bobby Knight was a great thing for IU. He united the student body along with Indiana basketball fans everywhere for nearly thirty years.
Retirement might be a good decision. Bobby Knight will still be remembered as Indiana's greatest coach ever (and most angry). I can only wish him the best of luck for the future!
