I'm not talking about the coach-player interaction. Although that's part of it, I'm more talking about, for example, the way Knight interacted with people off the team. Wasn't the final straw at IU the kid who baited him, and he took the bait big time. The way he treated reporters is another.

He wasn't just intimidating by nature, he actively intimidated people. To me, that's different than simply intimidating someone due to your stature (either physical or otherwise).
