    Funny epilogue to this incident: I was a Boilermaker from '84-88. After Coach Knight threw the chair at this game at IU, we chained all of the coaches chairs together at the following matchup at Purdue. You could see him laughing out loud, all the way from the student section, when he noticed the chain. What a showman, all good cheer.

    I was at the game (graduated '85). It was against arch-rival PU. Tough season. They should show the play that got him irate - Marty Simmons had the ball and a PU guy fell on top of him. Ref called the foul on Marty. The next morning we were reading the paper and noticed they were making a big deal out of the "chair throwing incident". The chair throwing didn't seem like that big of a deal - it was the fact that he got kicked out of the game that was a big deal! It took 3 technicals to get kicked out and the chair was only 1 of the 3 (the 2nd, mind you). IU lost the game and later lost in the NIT Championship. There were high hopes for the '85 team after knocking out Michael Jordan (in his final college game) and getting to the Elite 8 the previous year. The team won the NCAA Championship 2 years later. PU's Coach Keady is the only coach to have a winning record against Bobby (assuming more than a few games played). They became (and are) good friends since retirement.

    I remember when this happened, I was a senior in high school and co-captain on the basketball team. So many coaches during that time followed the Bob Knight approach of yelling and berating kids, it was not cool. My high school coach thankfully was not like that but I had summer basketball camp coaches who were and it was not enjoyable, although in retrospect I learned a little self-discipline that I otherwise would not have received as a kid.
