Let me start this by saying, that if I ever had the chance to send my kids to college to play basketball I would have sent them anywhere Bob Knight was the head coach. I believe that he took boys and made men out of them. He may not have always acted like a gentlemen or a scholar, but he always turned out men.
That said, why in the world is he quitting on his team? The man who always pushed his team to the limits. Never say never. Do not quit. He is quitting. By all accounts coming out of Texas it is not for health reasons, but because he is tired. What he was not tired in September when he signed a contract extension? Was he not tired before he won his 900th career game?
I am sure a lot of people will be reaping praise on this man (even the ones who tried to hang him years ago), but this was nothing but a cowardly, hypocritical decision. He is quitting on his team.
