Bob Knight reflected back on his own playing days after his latest coaching milestone, summing up his thoughts as only Knight can.

The 66-year-old Knight tied Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp for second place on the career victory list Wednesday night as Texas Tech beat Louisiana Tech 66-59. Knight's 876th victory also moved him within three of tying former North Carolina coach Dean Smith for the most in Division I history.

When asked about tying Rupp, who coached at Kentucky, Knight talked about the years he played at Ohio State.

"The thing I remember about Adolph Rupp is that one time I scored seven points against the ornery son of a bitch to help beat him," Knight said, referring to Ohio State's 87-74 victory over the Wildcats in the 1961 NCAA tournament. "That's a lot bigger in my memory than this."
