'Real world' knows truth about Knight

The students and boosters at IU should be ashamed of themselves. They hang an effigy of the school president; they publish the e-mail address, picture and phone number of the young man who made the dastardly mistake of calling this egomaniac "Knight," with a note that says "Wanted: Dead or Alive." The students riot. Over a basketball coach? Grow up people!\nNo one is to blame for Bob Knight's firing but Bob Knight. His arrogance and his ego could not be contained within his human body, so cast your stones at him, not others. "Zero tolerance" means "zero tolerance." Bob Knight obviously wasn't man enough to simply walk away from this young man, so he has reaped what he has sown.\nFortunately for us in the real world, we came to realize a long time ago what Bob Knight was about. Good riddance.
