Texas Tech gets left w/ Knight's Son, as Knight claims he's not actually retired.

.. Knight leaves his son in a well-paid job, he'd never get hired for, and goes on ESPN mentioning he's contemplate coming back (for that grand run at 1000 wins, I figure)

hno:

Tech should hire a real (non-Knight) Coach for 2008-2009.

Seems like a back door way of getting his son a job he would have never gotten on his own.

Might have been suspended for something the Univeristy doesnt want more bad press over him so he just leaves mid season. Not sure but that sure is weird for him to up and leave.

Knight's little boy ends up with a Big 12 Coaching gig. Texas Tech has every right to throw a chair across the floor with a Knight getting ready to sit on it.

figured Little General was the heir apparent regardless of when Bobby retired ??:think2:

Great coaches

No way Knight goes fishing for 10 years. Maybe 2 months.
He knows that. They cannot watch the game for long.

I'll be rooting for PAT--

3-1-08:

LUBBOCK, Texas -- Alan Voskuil scored 18 points, including six straight free throws down the stretch, and Texas Tech held off No. 5 Texas 83-80 on Saturday.
Martin Zeno scored 15 points and Trevor Cook and Charlie Burgess each added 14 for the Red Raiders (15-13, 7-7 Big 12), who made 34 free throws in the game including hitting all its last 10 to stave off the comeback.
Texas Tech fans stormed the court after the win, Pat Knight's and the Red Raiders' second over a Top 25 team since he succeeded his father as coach in early February.
D.J. Augustine scored 30 points and A.J. Abrams added 14 for the Longhorns (24-5, 11-3), who had an eight-game winning streak snapped.
Texas Tech, coming off the worst loss in school history, pulled ahead late in the first half and never trailed again. The Red Raiders went up 56-43 with just over 11 minutes remaining before Texas began to stir.
