Some of Bobby's ebullitions have been on display in television news clips the last couple of days: Coach Knight hurling a molded plastic chair the length of a basketball court; Coach Knight, displeased, putting a straight-arm Darth Vader chokehold on one of his own players. The papers have also showed shots of Coach Knight flourishing a bullwhip during a team practice, leading me to think that at least some of his ebullitions are satirical...
