Bob Knight Ties Rupp, Now 3 Wins Away from Dean Smith: With Texas Tech’s win over Louisana Tech, coach Bob Knight now has 876 career wins, tying him for second place on the all-time list with legendary Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp, who Knight described as an “ornery son of a bitch.” He is three wins away from tying the all-time record held by former North Carolina coach Dean Smith. Knight has coached for 41 years – six at West Point, 29 at Indiana, and the past 6 at Texas Tech. [12/07/06]
