[QUOTE="BlackSquirrels, post: 201769, member: 742"]
I looked at the box score of the game. Lamar had four seniors play 30+ minutes. If they're such bad guys and have such bad attitudes, why did Pat Knight play them so much?
 
A friend emailed me an [URL='http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=6189498']article about Pat Knight's firing from Texas Tech[/URL] because it contains the following outrageous quote from Knight:
 
"I'd have been smart if I'd just played baseball and never got into coaching," he said. "The two things I'm most proud of that I've done: I went to Indiana and played at Indiana, for my dad. [B]And I took over for him here. So people can write and say whatever they want about me but the one thing they can't say is that I ever took the safe or easy way out.[/B]"
 
That's a nice sentiment, but Pat Knight got his first head coaching job because his father, one of the most famous basketball coaches in history, quit during the middle of the season and left Texas Tech almost no choice other than promoting Pat.
 
I have trouble taking Pat Knight seriously.
