The winningest men's basketball coach in NCAA Division I history has announced his retirement. That's correct, Bob Knight has left the game, and not with a bang, choke, or chair throw. He will quietly step aside and hand the reigns of the Texas Tech Red Raiders to his son Pat. Coach Knight cited a lack of passion and general wear and tear as his reasoning. His departure left the Texas Tech players and staff in a fragile emotional state, to which he replied, "Jesus, guys, I didn't die. I'm just not coaching."
