Texas Tech found minor policy violations in a review of merchandise transactions between Tim Knight, an athletic department official and son of coach Bob Knight, and a store he owned in Indiana.
``There were mistakes made,'' athletic director Gerald Myers said in a news release Thursday. ``Laws were not broken and the only intent by individuals involved was to market Texas Tech and our basketball program. All of us at the university share responsibility for these mistakes.''
The merchandise, about 900 miniature basketballs, some caps and media guides, were shipped to The General's Store in Indianapolis. The store, which opened while Bob Knight was the coach at Indiana, was owned by Tim Knight and operated by his mother, Nancy Knight.
In return, the Indiana store sent Tim Knight pictures of Bob Knight and other items to be sold at a store that Tim Knight oversaw on the Tech campus.
The trading began in mid-October. The store closed this spring.
