Then you wouldn't send your kid to be coached by Knight. These parents did, knew what to expect, and accept that their son might be disciplined in the customary Knight manner.

As for assault, it is defined as "an act done with intent to cause another injury or imminent fear of injury. The act may be direct (hitting someone with a fist) or indirect (putting something in their drink). "

There clearly was no intent to commit injury, nor fear of injury, therefore no assault.

Well, my friend...a good lawyer might just debate with you weather or not this kid was in fear.

A good lawyer will debate anything. Even the weather. Whether or not they have a leg to stand on.

Well, he'd have to have the kid on his side to have any case; and I think we all know where the player stands here....

I think it is funny how the comments about coach K get ignored. I'm still trying to decide who is the most overhyped coach of all time, coach K or Dean Smith.

Vitale was doing an Indiana/Butler game the other night and out of the blue said, "I can't wait to see Duke..." He is so obviously biased when it comes to Duke it is sickening.

Now for my favorite Bobby Knight quote of all time; "That was a stupid question. Would you like to start over?"

I was just looking for an excuse to throw out the quote; sorry you got caught in the middle.
