LUBBOCK – Win No. 871 for Bobby Knight was marred by an incident on the sideline in which replays showed sophomore Michael Prince “chin butting” the Texas Tech head coach’s palm. Texas Tech athletic director Gerald Myers announced earlier this morning that the sophomore forward has been suspended for the remainder of the season for the attack.Knight was providing technique instruction to the sophomore standout during a game timeout, and seconds later, the player seemingly lost his temper with Knight. “The kid just lunged at my hand with his chin without warning,” said Coach Knight as he recounted the incident in this morning’s press conference. Knight has refused to press criminal charges, although Texas Tech separately announced that it will be beefing up security for Coach Knight for the remainder of the season.
