I'm not an apologist for Knight

Ah, now you're just projecting.

I'm a lifelong Hawkeye fan, so I have no love for coach Knight. I watched the whole "Knight-Alford feud" play out over the last few years, and thought less of Knight for it. Although I have found his interviews to be funny over the years; he has also been verbally abusive to reporters and such. He's not a nice guy.

But this whole kerfuffle is just stupid. You don't execute a man for doing 60 mph in a 55 mph zone just because he has a reputation of driving 180 mph. This thing with the chin? It's just 60 mph.

He's a very confrontational coach. No surprise there. The kid wasn't looking up, Knight wanted him to and he needed it to happen quickly. Did you even see the video?
