Ex-Indiana basketball player alleges abuse by Bob Knight in book

Former Indiana basketball player Todd Jadlow says that his former coach Bob Knight physically and emotionally abused him and his teammates during his time with the team.

Jadlow makes his claims in a book "Jadlow: On The Rebound," which details his struggles drug and alcohol addiction and depression.

Jadlow was a member national championship team in 1987 and says that Knight repeatedly abused players while he was a player with the Hoosiers.

He gave a few examples of Knight's alleged abuse, including saying Knight punched him in the back of his head with a closed fist before an NCAA tournament game against Seton Hall; cracking a clipboard over his head during a 1989 game, being left with bruise marks on his side after Knight grabbed him and Knight squeezing him in his groin during a timeout.
