New Ride for Knight

After 902 career victories, the legendary Bob Knight is leaving the coaching profession. Earlier today, the Lubbock Ledger reported Coach Knight would be resigning, effective immediately. Bob Knight's son, Pat, will be taking over as head coach of Texas Tech. The elder Knight has no intentions of slowing down though, as NBC has already contacted him about playing the voice of 'Kit' in the new Knight Rider series.

Immediately following the news of Coach Knight's retirement, Dean Smith held a press conference at a Bob Evan's off of Interstate 90. Smith announced the discovery of 24 victories which had previously been omitted from his record, again making him the winningest coach in NCAA Division I men's college basketball.

Apparently, the victories had taken place during a two week tournament in Puerta Rico. Smith explained to reporters that the victories had previously been neglected because of insinuating circumstances involving a black-out drunk and an exotic dancer named KiKi. "Luckily for me," Coach Smith announced, "KiKi happened to write down the outcome of all 24 games on a cocktail napkin."

In honor of Coach Smith's accomplishment, ESPN has announced "24 Days of Glory." The festivities will include highlights from all of the greastest games between Duke and North Carolina.
