Texas Tech Director of Athletics Gerald Myers
"Bob Knight has done an outstanding
job as Texas Tech’s basketball coach. He has brought more recognition to Texas
Tech,
"He has won over
900 games during his storied career, the most in the history of NCAA Division I
men’s basketball. His legacy to basketball is more than the number of wins he
has achieved. Bob has given back to the game of basketball as much or more than
anyone who has ever coached the game. No one has participated in more
basketball clinics and camps and invited coaches to practices than Bob Knight.
He has always made time to help coaches with information and insight into the
technical aspects of his coaching philosophy.
"Many great
coaches have influenced the game of basketball. Bob Knight’s philosophy and
system of offense and defense have been copied and emulated by hundreds and
hundreds of coaches at all levels throughout the world.
"I am pleased
and excited we have Pat Knight, who is ready to be the head coach of Texas Tech
basketball. He will work to give students, fans and alumni a competitive and
excited basketball team."
