When Bob Knight arrived in Lubbock, he was greeted by a loud reception at United Spirit Arena.

There will be far less pomp and circumstance as he steps aside.

Knight informed Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers Monday morning that he has resigned, effective immediately.

Knight son, Pat, the head coach designate, will take over for the remainder of the season

LUBBOCK -- A spokesman for Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers says men’s basketball coach Bob Knight has resigned, effective immediately.

 

[Starman]

Just a guess: a health situation.

If it were some kind of misconduct/firing/Knight quitting in a huff situation, Pat wouldn't be taking over.

Obviously, we'll have to see as the details come out, but that's my first guess.

 

[93Devil]

I cannot believe he would quit in mid season.

I hope it's not health.

If it's not, somebody needs to be shot.

 

[Bubbler]

It's up now.

 

[friend of a friend]

It has to be health related. I can't imagine him quitting midseason for any other reason.

Same here.

NewsChannel 11 said that Coach Knight told Athletic Director Gerald Myers that he was ready to quit and tired of coaching.

Stay tuned to NBC5i.com and NBC 5 for more information on this late-

AP has a seven-inch story, which gives no reason for the resignation.

Does Texas Tech have a game tonight or a practice? If not, it will be tough to get a comment on this. I just don't see Coach Knight talking on his front porch about this.
