University mishandled Knight situation

By Tony Wiederhold · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2000 1:52 p.m.

IU has lost a legendary teacher and coach. It saddens me that the trustees have taken the word of a rude freshman barely on campus for three weeks over that of the man who has faithfully carried the torch for IU for almost 30 years. I, like many others, have encountered Coach Knight in the bowels of Assembly Hall, or in some other public place, and he was, in a word, a gentleman.

University better off when Knight was here

By Jeff Weingartner · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2000 1:51 p.m.

It's about time. The Bob Knight era has come to a close. Now people can look at IU for the other things we do great here … Oh, that's right ' there isn't anything. The latest rankings by U.S. News and World Report placed IU in the second tier of colleges, so we aren't opening any eyes academically.

Knight taught lessons on, off basketball court

I had the opportunity to work under coach Knight as a manager from 1996 to 2000. I am currently an administrative assistant for the Stanford Men's basketball program under coach Mike Montgomery. Throughout my four years at Indiana under coach Knight, there was not a day that went by on either the practice floor or in the locker room where I didn't learn something about the game of basketball or the game of life.

Letter Spotlight

Bob Knight -- less than a god, but more than a man, right? I don't know exactly why, but for some reason, with all of his antics during the years, I should have lost my respect for him and agree with his termination as coach.

Cornbread a simple yet rewarding effort

By Camilla Saulsbury · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2000 11:06 a.m.

Everyone is to blame

By Chris Edwards · Tuesday, Sept. 12,2000 2:12 a.m.

Knight's in trouble again. Ouch! Sorry, I mean Mr. Knight is in trouble again. I apologize for stating the obvious; my next column may be an expose claiming the kids driving SUVs around campus don't make their own payments. At any rate, it makes for good news, doesn't it?

Tuesday, Sept. 12,2000 2:10 a.m.
