Texas Tech coach Pat Knight has been suspended by the Big 12 for talking trash to the referees in a 79-73 loss to Texas A&M last weekend.
This was the second time Bob’s son has been chastised by the conference. Earlier this season he was told to go to his room without any dinner after running onto the court not once, but twice twice to argue a foul call in a game against Nebraska.
According to the Associated Press, assistant coach Stew Robinson will replace Knight for today’s game against Texas.
Pat may be taking on some of the same characteristics as his …read more

This edition of the latest college basketball rankings is brought to you by steroids and Major League Baseball.
Congratulations to the Connecticut Huskies (22-1, 10-1) for hanging on to the number one ranking for a second week in a row in both the Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today polls. An even bigger congrats if you achieved this feat without using steroids.
Looks like No. 2 Oklahoma (23-1, 9-0) may have to wait another week or two for its chance to claim the top spot. The Huskies play No. 23 Syracuse (18-6, 6-5) at home on Wednesday and visit Seton Hall (13-9, 4-6) …read more

This is a cute story from the Associated Press via ESPN.com.
But it makes you wonder if Pat Knight is slowly taking the Bob Knight route to silliness and unusual stunts to motivate his team.
LUBBOCK, Texas — Texas Tech Red Raiders coach Pat Knight grew tired of watching his team miss shots that even a child could make. So he found one to illustrate his frustration.
While the Red Raiders (10-4) were busy botching about 15 layups against Stephen F. Austin on Thursday, Knight scoured the stands and invited a youngster to join the team huddle.
Knight asked the boy whether he …read more
Bobby Knight resigns effective immediately

ESPN is reporting that Texas Tech head coach Bobby Knight has resigned effective immediately. His son Pat, who is an assistant coach, has taken over the head coaching duties.
Something doesn’t seem right to me. Knight, the all-time NCAA wins leader with 902, doesn’t seem like a quitter to me in any way. He could have easily quit as the Indiana head coach with all the problems he was facing, but he chose to stay on and forced Miles Brand to fire him.
I find it hard to believe that Knight would simply walk away from the job mid-season unless something else …read more
