Bob Knight had a legendary career at Indiana which was, in many ways, a race between his unquestioned coaching genius and his inability to control his anger.
There are a few incidents that really illustrate his anger. There was his explosion vs. Ted Valentine, a guy whose ego is nearly as big as is Knight’s. There was the incident in Puerto Rico where he pushed or shoved a cop into a garbage can, an act the Puerto Rican government never forgave or forgot. There’s the notorious audio tape where he berates his team about losing to Purdue. And of course there’s the Neal Reed video that ended his IU career.
