He has accomplished everything there is to do and has done all he could have done at TTU | My guess is that he had simply had enough. | |

| he said in an interview once that he should have left IU about 5 years before he actually did. i wonder if he had the sense now that he admittedly didn't have at IU, and just decided this time it's wiser to get out. | |

| He's 67, I wonder if he would ever consider coming out of retirement to coach another year somewhere else? I hope, but I doubt it. Didn't realize he was that old till the story broke.
On a sidebar, has anyone ever watched the youtube video's with bobby knight? the golf instructional video's are pretty funny. YouTube - Bobby Knight Golfing

| He can now spend time with his grandchildren and enjoy the outdoors and not worry about the everyday struggles of coaching
