Reality Check on Knight: Texas Tech coach Bob Knight will be the star of a new reality show in which one Texas Tech student will have the opportunity to walk on to the Red Raiders during the 2006-07 season. The show will feature Knight’s usual regimen of drills, conditioning and instruction. Although many viewers will be watching in hope of witnessing an infamous Knight rant, the show offers an opportunity for college basketball fans to better appreciate the countless hours of hard work that student-athletes undergo in preparation for the season. Even walk-ons, who frequently play only a handful of minutes in an entire season, must sweat a few buckets to claim their spot on the team.
