Bob Knight, an iconic figure in college basketball passed away yesterday at the age of 83.
As controversial as he was successful, Knight became a head coach at the age of 24 when he took over the reins at Army, but six years later, he took over at Indiana where he became nationally known. With the Hoosiers, Knight won three National Championships (1976, 1981 & 1987) went to five Final Fours and won 11 Big Ten regular seasons. He was also a three-time AP Coach of the Year, and five-time Big Ten Coach of the Year. Following his dismissal from Indiana after years of controversial actions, he became the Head Coach at Texas Tech.
He had an overall record of 902-371.
Knight was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 1991 and College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the family of Bob Knight.
