Bob Knight Breaks All Time Win Record

Well like him or hate him, Bob Knight is now the all time winningest coach in NCAA history. Knight surpassed the great North Carolina Coach Dean Smith with 880 career wins when his Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated New Mexico 70-68 on Monday. His fans and supporters tout this accomplishment as the pinnacle of a Hall of Fame career and his detractors say its just another game won by a bully who hasn't won a game of importance in 15 years. The administrators of the Btown Address stand somewhere in the middle. We have the greatest respect for Coach Knight and appreciate everything he has done for College Basketball and for the student athletes he has coached over the years. Even though he has stated many times records and accomplishments are meaningless to him, we congratulate Coach Knight and thank him for his contributions to College basketball.
