Texas Tech basketball coach Bob Knight shocked the college basketball world Monday by announcing his resignation effective immediately. What will you remember about Coach Knight's career, and can anyone top his 902 wins in Division 1 men's basketball?
"I don't keep track of coaches total wins, but I think 900 will be pretty safe. As far as his legacy goes, I think one word will suffice - chair. The chair toss was classic and will be played on sports networks throughout all time. It's a great lesson to teach young aspiring coaches how a real coach deals with shoddy officiating."

"Honestly, all anyone will remember is his insane attitude. One of my favorite moments was recently when he brought his grandchild into a press conference. Nobody will ever be as insane as Knight."

"I'll always remember his tirades and his championships. Knight was always good for a quote, but more importantly, he won national titles without a single recruiting violation. Coach K at Duke or Roy Williams at North Carolina will win a lot of games, but I'm not sure if anyone will get to that 900-mark."
