Coach Bobby Knight Dies at 83

According to news reports, Bob Knight, one of college basketball’s winningest coaches but also one of the sport’s most polarizing figures, has died at the age of 83, his family announced.

The family did not immediately release the cause of death for the man who most famously coached Indiana University from 1971 to 2000 and won three national championships there, including in 1976, a squad that is the most recent men’s Division I team to finish the season unbeaten.

Knight passed away at his home in Bloomington, Indiana, surrounded by his relatives, the family posted to his website.
