FORT WORTH, Texas -- NBC's affiliate in Lubbock, NewsChannel 11, is reporting that Texas Tech Basketball Coach Bob Knight has resigned, effective immediately.

KCBD.com said that Assistant Coach Pat Knight will take over.

The announcement comes just two days before Tech's next basketball game, which is Wednesday against Baylor in Waco. It also comes less than three weeks after Knight's record 900th win. 

NewsChannel 11 said that Coach Knight told Athletic Director Gerald Myers that he was ready to quit and tired of coaching.

Stay tuned to NBC5i.com and NBC 5 for more information on this late-breaking story.

i wonder if he just came back this year to get #900.  i wouldn't be surprised if he surfaces at another program in the next year or two.

maybe he got scared of the Bears and their trip to Waco today so he just quit...haha, ok kidding, but its kinda weird to leave your team in the middle of the year, esp. considering they look like they could make the NIT....

It is very strange....watched the interview last night on espn and he said a return to basketball is not out of the question! I guess we'll see wat happens.
