Knight, for better or for worse
Posted Nov 21, 2006
Bobby Knight got loud applause and cheers when he walked into a half-full arena before Texas Tech's game Tuesday with Arkansas-Little Rock. Had the game been in Little Rock instead of Lubbock, no doubt there would have been boos. So it goes with Knight, the man you love to hate. Sometime this season, probably sooner than later, barring a meteor strike or well-placed lightning bolt, Knight will pass Dean Smith as the man with the most wins in NCAA Division I basketball.
