Bobby Knight Retires
On October the 9th 1997, a young 22 year old man became sad because the greatest college basketball coach retired. A passion of the game lead me to follow Dean Smith and the Carolina Tarheels. Out of those days I seen him coach and mould young basketball players into professional men. Another sad day for me came today, when the another great coach decided to retire and move on into another stage of his life. Bobby Knight, a man with 902 wins under his belt stepped down from head basketball coach of Texas Tech and left his legacy to his son. I always admired his drive and dedication and in a flash, i believe that he some of that died September 11th 2000 when he was fired from Indiana. Knights behavior and temper was a down fall but his drive and intense to win and coach player to men was his goal. Like I said, you don't have to agree, but his numbers speak for themselves. So to Bobby Knight, i salute you and your achievements and relax, you have earned it.
