“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

I have to say...that Coach's ability to keep his composure (and even flash a sarcastic smile) tonight in the face of horrible referee calls was nothing short of other-worldly.
Seriously, after all the bizarre touch fouls on Frank and others, the ball that Cousins deflected out that went to OU (even though Cousins gave away the call by flying after the ball-signaling how he KNEW he last touched it!), the Buddy Hield tomahawk chop on Landon after a huge rebound/retrieval on the sideline very late in the game (resulting in a forced turnover), and multiple other plays that I could cite ad nauseum...I personally would've been following Bobby Knight's lead if I were in Self's shoes:
Hats off to Coach for somehow keeping it all in check in a very high-stakes game. That composure was absolutely crucial to keeping the boys on an even keel, and it underscores why he's a future HoF coach and I'm just a guy sitting at a keyboard tapping out observations on the game!

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
I was a post-grad student at IU the year Bobby threw the chair. I was *NOT* at the game, but that moment was all *anybody* on campus was talking about over the course of the next few days.
Of course, as fans of the Big 12 and the Big 8, we have our own fond memories of coaches behaving badly as a result of poor officiating. This Big 8 incident is an all time "Greatest Hit" for a coach drawing a T...

And yes, I'm glad we have our Self!

Based on the fact that HE was on campus then, and that it came against Purdue, I don't think so. I think the Puerto Rico incident was him accosting a cop or security guard during the Pan American Games.
Someone actually compiled a list of Knight's incidents. Whether it's the Full Monty or not, I have no idea.
