This is an interesting twist. Bobby Knight is going to be a Reality TV show celebrity now as he looks for a walk-on to join the Red Raiders' mens basketball team. This could only be good publicity for Tech in my eyes and show how great a coach BK is...

Bob Knight to host reality TV show on ESPN

LUBBOCK — Bob Knight will give one Texas Tech student the chance to play on his team in a reality show hosted by the Hall of Fame coach.
Sixteen students will attend Knight School, the name of the show set to air on ESPN in February, and Knight will whittle the class to one during six one-hour episodes. Filming will begin in late September.
That player will have endured what all Knight players do — a gauntlet of drills, conditioning and competitive situations — and will have chance to be a walk-on for the 2006-07 season.
"It's a great opportunity for the kids at Texas Tech who want to have a shot at playing for a legend as well as learning from a legend," said Robert Lundgren, one of the show's executive producers with Knoxville, Tenn.-based RIVR Media.
