Bob Knight, coach of Texas Tech men's basketball, is going to sign a contract extension through 2006. I think he's about 65 years old, so it's nice to see that the university has confidence that he will still be able to do the job past 70. I hope to get that old someday and still have the option to work. The strange thing about it is that his son Pat, signed a deal last year which makes him the head coach when his dad retires. I wonder if the idea of waiting another 6 years to take over is what he had in mind. I think Donn Nelson signed a deal like that with the Dallas Mavericks to take over from his dad, Don Nelson, and then never did.
