Pat Knight no longer admitting he’s related to Bob Knight

Texas Tech assistant coach Pat Knight played for his father Bob at Indiana, then served as an assistant with him there before following him to Lubbock. But Pat is no longer acknowledging he is any type of relation to the Hall of Fame coach.

“Yeah, it’s weird that we have the same name, huh?” said Pat Knight the day after Texas Tech qualified for the Sweet 16 and his father ripped into Indiana and their coach, Mike Davis. “Just one of those strange coincidences, I guess. But we’re not of any relation, especially not father-son relation. No siree, I don’t have a single drop of his blood coursing through my veins. In fact, I hardly know the man outside of Xs and Os.”

Many college basketball analysts have guessed that Pat Knight is seeking to distance himself from his unstable, petty, vindictive father in hopes of salvaging a career of his own after the elder Knight dies or retires, but Pat says that’s not the case.

“No, not at all. I love working for him here,” he said. “That’s not to say I wouldn’t consider a job somewhere else – I mean really, anywhere. Someone just give me a chance. Even if it’s just a junior high girls program somewhere. Just please don’t judge me based on my lunatic father. Please, America, I beg of you."
