MILWAUKEE – If you grew up in Indiana, there is a decent chance you were a fan of Bob Knight’s Indiana Hoosiers.

This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame Museum unveiled two limited-edition bobbleheads of the legendary college basketball coach.

The first bobblehead features Knight wearing his signature red sweater, while the second bobblehead commemorates Knight’s iconic chair-throwing incident

The standing bobblehead is individually numbered to 2,023 while the chair-throwing bobblehead is numbered to 19,850. The bobbleheads are currently available for pre-order exclusively through the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum's Online Store. The standing Knight bobbleheads are $30 each, while the chair-throwing bobbleheads are $40 each, plus shipping. A set of two is available for $65 and both bobbleheads are expected to ship in December. 

When asked about the bobbleheads, Coach Knight’s son and Founder of Knight Legacy, Pat Knight said, “We’re thrilled to be honoring my father’s legacy with these limited edition bobbleheads in collaboration with the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. I think these bobbleheads are a great tribute to my dad’s legacy and the passion that he had for basketball and life.”

The special edition bobbleheads are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum in conjunction with Knight Legacy, which has a mission to honor, promote and preserve the Coach Knight Legacy and the footprint Coach Knight has made on the history of basketball.

Coach Knight finished his career with an overall record of 902-371. At the time of his retirement, he was the all-time winningest coach in NCAA men’s basketball history. He has since been passed up by four coaches, including his former player and protégé, Mike Krzyzewski, who currently has the most wins.

Knight led Indiana to three national championships in 1976, 1981 and 1987. Other accolades include 11 Big Ten conference championships, eight-time Big Ten Coach of the Year, four-time National Coach of the Year, and head coach of the gold medal winning USA men’s basketball team in 1984.

In 1991, Knight was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame. He joined the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.
