Conversation so far:
Why is this so bad?
On March 14, 2000 (just before Indiana was to begin play in the NCAA tournament), the CNN Sports Illustrated network ran a piece on Knight.
What made this so amazing?
in which former player Neil Reed claimed he had been choked by Knight during a 1997 practice.
What did this do for him?
Knight denied the claims in the story.
However, less than a month later, the network aired a tape of an Indiana practice from 1997.
What did this lead too?
In response, Indiana University president Myles Brand announced that he had adopted a "zero tolerance" policy with regard to Knight's behavior.

Question: Who wanted these issues?
Self-contained rewrite: Who wanted the issues that happened to Bob Knight to occur?
