Bobby Knight, the legendary Indiana University basketball coach, has died at the age of 83.
A statement shared Wednesday afternoon on his official website said, "It is with heavy hearts that we share that Coach Bob Knight passed away at his home in Bloomington surrounded by family. We are grateful for all the thoughts and prayers and appreciate the continued respect for our privacy as Coach requested a private family gathering, which is being honored."
Knight became the youngest coach at a Division I school in 1965 when he broke in at Army at 24. But he made his mark in 29 years at Indiana, including winning a school-record 661 games and reaching the NCAA tournament 24 times in 29 seasons. He coached Indiana to three championships, the last one being in 1987 against Syracuse.
