He put his hands on one of his players —*grabbing him by the throat.

Seems completely on topic, regardless of whether or not you find the video amusing.

Didn't grab him by the throat. Put his hand on his chest and moved him backwards. Watch the video tape again. They were practicing against a 1/2 court trap and the player got in front of the ball. A big No No. Knight walked up too him put his hand on his chest and moved him back to proper position.
Look, coaches put their hands on players. It's nearly impossible not to. What Rice did was unacceptable. What Knight did was common.

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.
