Robert Montgomery Knight
(born October 25, 1940) is an American former
basketball
coach
. Often referred to as "
Bobby Knight
" and nicknamed "
the General
", Knight won 902
NCAA Division I
men's college basketball games, a record at the time of his retirement, and currently fourth all-time, behind his former player and assistant coach
Mike Krzyzewski
of
Duke
,
Roy Williams
, and
Jim Boeheim
of
Syracuse
, of which Krzyzewski and Boeheim are still active. Knight is best known as the head coach of the
Indiana Hoosiers
from 1971 to 2000. He also coached at
Texas Tech
(2001–2008) and at
Army
(1965–1971).
[1]
While at Indiana, Knight led his teams to three
NCAA championships
, one
National Invitation Tournament
(NIT) championship, and 11
Big Ten Conference
championships. His
1975–76
team went undefeated during the regular season and won the
1976 NCAA tournament
. The 1976 Indiana squad is the last men's college basketball team to go undefeated for the entire season. Knight received National Coach of the Year honors four times and
Big Ten Coach of the Year
honors eight times. In 1984, he coached the
USA men's Olympic team
to a gold medal, becoming one of only three basketball coaches to win an NCAA title, NIT title, and an Olympic gold medal.
Knight was one of college basketball's most successful and innovative coaches, having popularized the
motion offense
. He has also been praised for running good programs (none of his teams was ever sanctioned by the NCAA for recruiting violations), and nearly all of his players graduated. Knight sparked controversy with his outspoken nature and demonstrative behavior. He once famously threw a chair across the court during a game, which was rewarded with an ejection. Knight was once arrested in Puerto Rico following a physical confrontation with a police officer.
[2]
Knight regularly displayed a volatile nature and was sometimes accused of verbal conflicts with members of the press.
[3]
He was also recorded on videotape appearing to have possibly grabbed one of his players by the neck.
[4]
[5]
Knight remains "the object of near fanatical devotion" from many of his former players and Indiana fans.
[6]
Nevertheless, Knight was accused of choking a player during practice. Following the incident, a "zero tolerance" policy was instituted specifically for coach Knight. After a subsequent run-in with a student, university president
Myles Brand
fired Knight in the fall of 2000.
[7]
In 2008, Knight joined
ESPN
as a men's college basketball studio analyst during Championship Week and for coverage of the NCAA Tournament.
[8]
He continued covering college basketball for ESPN through the 2014–15 season.

Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
