The former Hoosiers coach, fired last fall for what Indiana called a pattern of misconduct, was hired in March after James Dickey was dismissed following a 9-19 season. Texas Tech and Lubbock got a tremendous amount of exposure. Myers, a former Tech basketball coach known for ripping off his suit jacket on the sideline, said he never considered putting a specific behavior clause in Knight's contract. I think it would be a mistake to start out with that kind of situation with a coach. But I don't have any problem about talking to him about anything that might happen or might come up.
Basketball is a highly competitive, highly emotional game.
Myers said he has seen the tape of Knight grabbing an Indiana player by the neck during a practice. He did not choke that player. If we had the camera on us in practice, there's a lot of things we wouldn't want to be shown. Myers said he could talk with Knight should there be another blowup. I am his boss.
