Coach Bob Knight Career Accomplishments Bobblehead Unveiled

Today, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled a limited-edition Bob Knight Career Accomplishments Bobblehead honoring the legendary college basketball coach.  The special edition bobblehead produced by the National Bobblehead HOF & Museum in conjunction with Knight Legacy.  Founded by Coach Knight's son., Pat Knight Legacy's mission is to honor, promote, and preserve the Coach Knight Legacy and the footprint that HOF Coach Bob Knight made in the history of basketball.  Coach Knight passed away on 11/01/23, at the age of 83.


Standing on a rectangular basketball court base with BOB KNIGHT and THE GENERAL on each side of an outline of the state of Indiana across the front, the Knight bobblehead is wearing a red sweater and navy pants and pointing to give instructions to his team.  The framed backing of the base, which features one of his memorable quotes, "Mental is the physical as four is to one," also includes a sketch of Knight, replica banners of the three national championships won under Coach Knight, a numerical rundown of Knight's career accomplishments, and a replica of Knight's autograph.


The Bobbleheads are individually numbered, only available through the NBHOF & Museum's Online Store and BobKnight.com., for $40 each =$8 shipping per order.  They are expected to ship in August.  


Coach Knight finished his coaching career with an overall record of 902 - 371.  Knight's 902 NCAA Division I victories was a record at the time of his retirement, and currently ranks fifth all-time.  He's best known for winning 3 national championships at IU in 1976 (undefeated season), 81, and 87, during his tenure 1971-2000.  Knight also coached at Army - (65-71), & Texas Tech - (01-08).  Other career highlights include 28 NCAA Tournament appearances, five trips to the Final Four, 11 Big Ten regular season championships, and Three Big Ten Coach of the Year awards.  Known as one of college basketball's best, and innovative coaches, having popularized the motion offense.  Knight also won a NIT championship, he was inducted into the Army Sports HOF in 2008, and the Indiana Hoosiers Athletics HOF in 2009


Pat Knight said is excited to launch this bobblehead. Being the last team to go undefeated in 1976 is something talked about at this time every year and something Coach was very proud of for this team reaching their full potential and accomplishing their goal.  NBHOF and Museur co -founder & CEO Phil Sklar says this is a fan must have, as it emcompases Bobby Knight's accomplishments in coaching, as well as his physical traits.
