42 past events with the basketball tag

A basketball game between the Harlem Wizards and Team Mel-Beezy starts at 7 p.m. in the gym of Southside High School. There’s even going to be a walk on player, Mayor Dennis Tyler, that will join the fun of the amazing Harlem Wizards.

The game will be part of "Keep the Peace" weekend. Harvestor “Smokey” Pryor, president of CEO of Pryor Foundation, said proceeds from the events will be used to repair the gym and do other work for the Boy’s and Girl’s Club that has helped thousands of youth during the last half century.

Bob Knight is among the youngest head coaches to have won 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, and 800 career games. He is the only coach to have reached 900 wins. When he was 62-years-old, Coach Knight became the youngest of the four coaches ever to reach the milestone of 800 victories.

Coach Bob Knight earned his 800th career win at Texas Tech on January 1, 2007 with a Red Raider win over New Mexico (70-68). Coach Bob Knight completed his coaching career at Texas Tech on February 2, 2008...a 67-60 win (#902) over Oklahoma State University at the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, Texas.

During his six seasons at Army, his 29 years at Indiana University, and his six and a half seasons at the helm of the Texas Tech Red Raider program, he has experienced nothing short of excellence! There are the wins, the conference titles, the national championships, and the exemplary graduation rate and player success after basketball. Most telling, there is the bond that exists between Coach Knight and those who have played for him.
