Bob Knight actually beat up a player at practice and tossed chairs at players. Al Sal just doped his athletes up.

Neither of them will coach again and that’s all that matters to me.
Salazar should be reinstated. Total kangaroo court
Bela Karolyi
Did he toss the chair at a player, or did he toss the chair across the basketball court in a fury over a poor referee? I mean, either way, it’s not good, but I don’t know if he actually tried to hurt his players.
Knight famously tossed the chair across a court. Knight never beat up a player, though Neil Reid accused him of choking him during a practice. Knight was a great x's and o's coach but a bully and a jack--ss, so I'm not defending him. He was worse.
R Knight was loud and a bully. I know loud bullies. At least R Knight never did gay T-rubs on his athletes
Old time Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes.
Yes Knight was a bully whose actions wouldn't be tolerated today. However he didn't cheat and he expected his athletes to act appropriately off the court.
For the win.
Not even close.
Woody Hayes was good at this too.
And then, going the other way, Latrell Sprewell actually choked his coach out.
Woody Hayes' temper got in trouble a few times before he was fired for punching the Clemson player. However his players loved and respected him. Very few ever had negative things yo say about him. He was also an admirer of Emerson who lectured at Harvard.
Al sal had too many close relationships with doctors for my personal comfort
Al sal I hope you read this you b@stard
This thread is for the purists
Jerry Sandusky.
Ok, I withdraw my previous comment. Karolyi now moves into second place. Good Lord!!!
Both good coaches but both scumbags, unfortunately. I would trust Bob Knight more and think that he’s probably a better person.
