900

Congratulations to Texas Tech coach Bob Knight, who extended his own NCAA record by winning his 900th game as a coach against Texas A&M last night. Knight being Knight, he couldn't get through this without a tiny display of churlishness:

After the game fans chanted Knight's name as he walked off the court to a thunderous ovation.

''You folks being here, seats being full for a change, really made a difference tonight,'' Knight told the crowd before leaving the court.

He's nobody's idea of a nice guy, but he sure can coach basketball.

Unfortunate mental image after the cut:

Clip from Frank Miller's 900:

NCAA President Myles Brand, watching a Knight practice: This is madness!

Knight: Madness?!? This! Is! LUBBOCK!!! {kicks Brand down a well}

You're welcome.

The commenting problems are proving harder to fix than I expected. The overlords have assured me that this is a high priority problem and that they are working on it. Apparently there is only one other blog around here that has been similarly affected.
The Times today has a good article on Bob Knight and his place in coaching history:
It's true. Ecosystem analyst Dr. Rand Knight is running for senate in Georgia:
I'm always tickled and disturbed when I hear news about JZ Knight. Knight, as some of you may already know, is a New Age charlatan who claims to "channel" a 35,000 year old Atlantean warrior, and dispenses ludicrous advice in a growly voice and gets paid big bucks by the gullible.

Terrible.

Wouldn't Knight use a chair instead of kicking?

Just, um, askin'....
