ACE Group Classic: Havlicek to Bobby: ?It?s time?
Former Ohio State teammate advised Texas Tech coach Bobby Knight

NBA Hall of Famer John Havlicek was surprised last week when Texas Tech mens? basketball coach Bob Knight resigned.
Surprised, the former Boston Celtic said, but not shocked.
?I?ve been telling him for two years to retire,? Havlicek said. ?I could see the toll it was taking on him. He?s at a place where you really can?t recruit the type of players he would like to recruit to win a championship. He was getting tired.?
Havlicek and former teammate Sam Jones were at Quail West Golf & Country Club on Wednesday to compete in the ACE Group Classic Pro-Am, a precursor to the tournament that starts Friday. The duo won six NBA championships in the seven years they played together for one of the most dominant dynasties in sports history.
Havlicek knew Knight before the coach was known for chair-throwing and surly post-game interviews. Havlicek knew Knight well before he won NCAA titles at Indiana, even before he started coaching at Army.
