Undeniably, he was a bully and a blowhard, an ogre who threw a chair, choked a player, head-butted another player, kicked his own son, said a woman should "relax and enjoy it" if "rape is inevitable," lost his job at Indiana when he grabbed a student's arm and berated so many referees and reporters that scorch marks were left in arenas across America. Yet there was one thing you never, ever could call Bob Knight.A cheater.
In his 42 years as a coach at three schools, not once was there a hint of impropriety regarding NCAA rules. We often lost sight of his high integrity amid his maniacal antics, and no matter what you think of Knight -- and I'll remember the madman more than the 902 victories and three national championships -- his law-abiding record should be admired.
