For those of you who missed it, Bob Knight now has 900 Division I victories. But the 67-year-old Texas Tech coach remained stone-faced after the 68-53 triumph over Texas A&M.
ESPN broadcast the post-game ceremony, such as it was. Knight was handed a microphone to address the screaming frenzy of 11,268 fans in Lubbock. ``Our players really played hard tonight against a really good team," Knight said. "You people here tonight, with seats being full for a change, really made one hell of a difference."
Later was later asked to say a few words about reaching 900, most by a male coach in the division. "I'm [expletive] glad it's over – that's a few words," Knight said. "I'm happy that I've been able to coach this long. ... That's a mark of longevity as much as anything else, so I'm just glad I lived this long."
There is every reason to believe he will reach 1,000.
