Knight had already vacated Bloomington for Texas Tech when he tallied his 902nd win, but IU fans still felt that their coach had rightfully become the NCAA's all-time winningest general to pace the sidelines.
That mark was changed when Don Meyer of Northern State surpassed Knight and continued on to gain 922 total wins, some of which came at an NAIA school.
Knight now must move over once more.
Philadelphia men's basketball coach Herb Magee won his 903rd game Tuesday night, moving Knight down to No. 3 on the all-time wins list for coaches.
Knight and Magee both won all of their games in NCAA-sanctioned leagues.
North Carolina coach Dean Smith is third on the list with 879 wins.
Knight amassed 661 of his 902 wins in Assembly Hall, while also gaining all three of his titles when affiliated with the cream and crimson.
