Odd timing, in the middle of the season...

...I wonder what he did, or what is about to come to light?

Or maybe health issues? Shrug.

I thought it was an health issue either that or he must have done something pretty bad.

My last image of him is getting on the microphone after his 900th win and bitching at the fans for not showing up and cheering every game. Maybe he's just tired of it all?

I have never understood celebrating the successes of someone who demands discipline and dedication from his players but has consistently failed to demonstrate one of those qualities himself.

He did a great job as a basketball coach, and his players are undoubtedly loyal to him.

I wish him the best of luck in retirement.

About time he leaves. Hopefully he will never be heard from again. So sick of hearing about this guy for the last 20 years. He is a jerk.

He's still pretty young and appears to be in good health. I'm surprised he's not going for 1,000.

Tony Kornheiser had some interesting inside to the Knight story on his podcast today.

Is there any chance we can get just one more chair throw before he retires?

I personally want him to run for President and start throwing chairs at congressmen. I think it is the shot in the arm our political system needs.
