A good night for Knight
Congratulations are in order for Bob Knight, who got his 900th win as a coach for an NCAA Div. I men’s basketball team by beating No. 10 Texas A&M, 68-53, on Wednesday. Of course, the media has thrown as many other names into the stories as possible to take away from his accomplishment. Women’s coaches Pat Summitt (Tennessee, 961 and counting) and Jody Conradt (Texas, 900) are mentioned right alongside Knight. Never mind the fact that these coaches are essentially coaching two different sports. Also mentioned is Harry Statham of McKendree University, who has won 950 games at the NAIA school. At least that is the same sport, but it is entirely another level. To me, it’s like the difference in driving a 2008 Corvette and a 1992 Cavalier.
