One of the winniest coaches in college basketbal
history and one of its most controversial. He was the head coach at Indiana University for over 20 years and had numerous reports of alleged abuse toward players, staff and reporters. He is notorious for his outbursts of temper and
red sweaters to match his face when the referees made a bad call against his team. One of Knight's most famous incidents involved throwing a
chair onto the floor during a free throw
shot resulting from a technical foul. His demise came in 2000 after a "final warning" issued by IU President, Miles Brand reagarding a videotap of Knight allegedly choking a
player during practice. Later, a student at Indiana University allegedly made a sarcastic remark to Knight which resulted in his firing after reports surfaced accusing him of putting his hands on the student. Knight was fired in
September of 2000 and is now head coach at Texas Tech University in Lubbock.
