Knight was different in that he seemed to be unable to control his disdain for people. Didn't he throw a flower pot at a secretary once?
People claimed a lot of things of Knight so I would not be surprised if people believe something like that happened.

I just know we had an official that recently died in my area that worked a Final Four and a Rose Bowl. I guess he had Wooden and UCLA a few times and he would tell that story often about the behavior of Wooden. So at least that part I heard from someone that dealt with Wooden directly and I heard that from others that were not the official I just mentioned.

Peace

Two examples is hardly enough to establish a pattern of causality. Maybe they had other options that were more compelling.

Usually when a job comes up people start throwing around names. I have never heard their names thrown around. And I cannot imagine that they could not get paid more money as a head coach at the D1 level than an assistant on a pro staff. Not many NBA Staff members make a million dollars and their job is more unstable.

I don't think that will help ... might be the worst video on YouTube ... looks like I'm watching on an old Sylvania TV/VCR combo I bought at a garage sale.

Probably more a case of emulating what your boss does because you think it is right / you want to impress.

Well, if you are in charge of handing him the balls, you rarely get them thrown at you!

Somebody has to be in charge of reloading.

The Athletic Director has resigned. The President upon seeing the video for the first time three days ago said he thought Rice had to be fired immediately. Interesting thought I heard on espn, they said that when the AD first saw the video that it wasn't edited up all the bad things we see weren't one after the other, all we see on the video is the bad acts piled on top of each other is all we see.

Wouldn't be surprised to see the president resign as well. The AD is more or less blaming legal counsel on the way out. Who cares if the tape was edited to show only the relevant parts? Chances are that a lot of bad stuff never appeared on video.

The Rutgers University General Counsel has also resigned. This was the guy who told Pernetti that they couldn't fire Rice because he hadn't violated school policies.

President said he was told they didn't have "cause," so he just fired him without it. I'm guessing that means his contract will be paid out as written
