Knight resigns from Texas Tech

In a stunning midseason move, Bobby Knight, college basketball's all-time winningest coach in Division I, has resigned from Texas Tech, effective immediately.

Coach Knight had given no indication a change was coming. His son, Pat, an assistant on his staff, will take over. Knight's contract ran through the 2011-12 season. In 2005, Pat Knight was appointed his successor.

Knight has 902 career wins, more than any coach in the history of Division I men's basketball. Win No. 900 came last month against Texas A&M. The Red Raiders are 12-8 this season.
