How many people would tolerate this kind of behavior from a boss? How about from a professor? How about from their kids' teacher at school?? And yet we tolerate it because he/she is a basketball coach? (And no, I'm not just talking about Knight - but the AAU/HS coaches as well)...

Example: My math class takes a test and several kids do lousy (like usual)...I pass the test back, start yelling and swearing at the kids who did poorly, maybe toss a chair across the room, choke one student for a few seconds, and maybe kick my son who happens to be in the class...but that's ok because they're gonna do well on the next test and my record of high-achieving math students will be intact, right???

Give me a break...Knight is a small, vindictive man, and any coach who acts like that needs to be dealt with immediately by the officials who are there...
