Ah, good times. The start of a sucessful business - the Bob Knight Furniture Co. Buy a sofa, and he'll throw in a chair.

(Thought I would get that out of the way early.)

I forgot about Reid missing all those FT's.

27 years ago??

Hard to believe it has been that long. I remember watching that game in the tv room of my college dorm.

Gene Keady and Bobby Knight...you just KNEW someone was getting tossed in those games!

It was fun seeing the refs wearing those old style shirts. Actually, I work some rec games with a guy who still wears a collared shirt.

Just beautiful to watch after all these years. Ya can't help but giggle as the little plastic school chair skids smoothly across the lane. I often wonder what posessed him to toss a chair as opposed to slamming a clipboard or stomping....just beautiful. I guess that's what made him Bobby Knight.

I wonder what the rule was 30 years ago on throwing chairs. What were chairs made of 30 years ago? What was Bobby Knight's blood pressure level 30 years ago?

I guess I did not realize that Steve Alford was playing at that time. I learned something new today.

And then Daryl Thomas (second foul called on him in the video) is an varsity assistant coach at a local High School that Isiah Thomas also attended down the street from me. Remember Hoop Dreams?

Peace

I coached for a long time before officiating. I began my coaching immediately after Indiana's 1981 championship. I admired him in the beginning and absolutely loved the way his teams played. This episode took almost all of the glitter away from my eyes and everything else he did afterwards convinced me that he was a great basketball mind but a deeply troubled person.

Hard to believe those shirts ever looked good, love the belted pants too, I guess good fashion is timeless, just noticed the black official, has a black placket on his shirt while another official doesn't but he has a white T shirt....brings back park district memories of my son's games

I too liked:

- the ole orange plastic chairs
- collared shirts (of which they were all not wearing the same ones)
- hairstyles, and lets not forget those
- short, shorts
