About Robert Montgomery (Bob or Bobby) Knight

Robert Montgomery (Bob or Bobby) Knight

Robert Montgomery (Bob or Bobby) Knight

Robert Montgomery (Bob or Bobby) Knight (born October 25, 1940, in Massillon, Ohio), also known as The General, is the head men's basketball coach at Texas Tech. He was previously head coach at Indiana University and at the United States Military Academy.

Knight has won more NCAA Division I men's basketball games than any other head coach. As of December 30, 2007, that number stood at 897.

Knight has won three NCAA championships (1976, 1981, 1987), one National Invitation Tournament (NIT) championship (1979), and led the U.S. Olympic basketball team to a gold medal (1984). This is considered collegiate basketball's Triple Crown. Knight also led Indiana to 11 Big Ten Conference championships, and is a 4-time National Coach of the Year (1975, 1976, 1987, 1989).

Knight is one of NCAA Division I college basketball's most controversial coaches because of his behavior. He has thrown a chair across the court during a game, been arrested for physical assault, and has repeatedly displayed a combative nature during his encounters with members of the press. However, he is simultaneously commended for running clean programs (no Knight program has ever been sanctioned by the NCAA for recruiting violations) and his high percentage of graduating players.
