Former Indiana player alleges physical abuses by Bob Knight in 1980s

In a recently published book about his personal struggles and subsequent battles with alcohol and cocaine addiction, former Indiana basketball player Todd Jadlow also listed a series of damning allegations against Bob Knight.

Jadlow, who played for Knight from 1985-89, wrote in "Jadlow: On the Rebound" the former IU coach “would be in jail” today for some of the tactics he allegedly used on his players, including physical abuse and, on some occasions, squeezing the testicles of Jadlow and his teammates.
