Bobby Knight breaks coaching record again
As old Coach Knight so wryly noted, he and Texas Tech broke the all time record for coaching wins again tonight, as they will with each of their wins this season. Today was a big one, they defeated #5 Kansas. 16-3 this season under coach Bill Self. These are the kind of wins needed to get a program a good NCAA tournament seed this Spring.
From the AP Wire story...
"It was the second time Tech has beaten the Jayhawks when they came to Lubbock as a Top 10 team. Dora was also the difference the last time. In February 2005, Dora hit a 3-pointer with 3.6 seconds remaining in the second overtime to beat then-No. 2 Kansas 80-79...As they did two years ago, the fans stormed the court and chanted "Bob-by! Bob-by!" after Knight left the court.
"I couldn't believe all those fans coming on the floor until I realized we broke the record again," Knight deadpanned about getting win No. 883 against the Jayhawks. He made the remark as he strolled through the media room after finishing his postgame comments..."
