...WINNINGEST coach in Division I men's college basketball made headlines for throwing a chair across court and for several alleged assaults. Still, the purity of Bob Knight's passion drew loyal fans. As Indiana's legendary leader from 1971 to 2000, "the General" took the Hoosiers to an undefeated '76 season--a feat not since repeated--and three NCAA championships. Knight, 67, who led the U.S. to Olympic gold in 1984, emphasized teamwork, never broke NCAA rules and ran clean programs with high graduation rates.
