  • Aw such class. Yeah, he's a "real man" with all of the bullying and temper tantrums he threw. This guy was a complete jerk and there is a reason why he didn't do anything from 93-when he retired. Players didn't have to put up his garbage and went elsewhere.

  • I miss Indiana having an awesome team every year. Indiana fan may not like Bob Knight but he made you relevant. He'd go to the NCAA tourny and brought back bling. And you haven't won it since.

  • when keeping it real goes wrong haha

  • @youngj11229 Mane i promise you got me rollin so tough right now lol

  • And they just sat there. Should've got up and put the work to his face

  • Great coach. Serious anger management problem! (Gee, ya think?) I went to The University of Michigan. When I was a freshman in '85-'86, and Indiana came to Crisler Arena, the Wolverine crowd kept yelling, "Throw the chair Bobby, throw the chair!" Well, he didn't. Would have been something if he did though, huh?

  • I hate Bob Knight, but this was awesome.

  • How funny would it have been if that chair had hit the referee up side the head. I would have pissed my pants I would have been laughing so hard

  • I was at this game. I was a sophomore. I was in the balcony. Some people left the game. Yes, there was a lot of blind support for Knight. However, this is really when he started to lose some favor with the fans and administration. Of course, he came back with an NCAA Championship in '87. This though was largely due to Toby Wright getting two junior college players, Keith Smart and Dean Garrett. Knight went out like Woody Hayes, choking a player.

  • @JayGatsbyOdysseus blind support? you should be ashamed to call yourself a hoosier. Bobby Knight is loved by all loyal fans in Bloomington and not only for his entertaining rants like this one, but because he's one of the best coaches of all time and he's the reason why IU was a great basketball team for so many years. Notice how we've sucked ever since he left?

  • @wild1033 I was in Assembly Hall when Knight threw the chair. There were some people who got up and left in disgust, some. Most stayed. I stayed. Knight was a micro-manager of his players. This ruined many careers. Larry Bird refused to play for Knight. Knight would have ruined Bird. Bird needed some freedom in his game and he found the freedom at Indiana State.

  • @wild1033 Knight wasn't successful at Indiana after the 93 season. The game changed. Top talent didn't have to deal with his abuse and attitude all the time and went elsewhere. That is why he sucked at Texas Tech as well. But yeah, Indiana has some of the best in state talent in the country yet weren't able to get it for quite some time. Crean may turn it around. Looks like he is on the right track.

  • Earl Hebner!!  1:55

  • i dont get it. Why did the ref call the Tech AFTER Bobby went back to his chair and sit down?

  • hey didnt a vanderbilt coach throw a chair like 10 years ago in a game agianst Kentucky in the last couple mins of the game if u find a vid of it inbox it 2 me

  • pretty sure the ref said , sit down.  they bobby knight said fuk you, the technical , then the chair toss

  • Comment removed

  • That's A Turn On

  • Why the debate between the refs? I would have thrown his ass out the second he threw the chair.

  • How'd last night feel, Purdouches? Better keep your pants down because IU is gonna do that for years to come.

  • Lenny Frattere former Pittsburgh Pirates play by play doing Indiana Basketball.

  • And that WAS a power house

  • Nobody said he was not a good coach....just a big cry baby

  • What a fucking maniac!

  • anyone who thinks Knight was out of line is not a real man. If your school's coach DOESN'T get mad, then he's probably not that good of a coach.

  • Did anyone see smoke come out of his mouth at 1:13??

  • Wow...great video quality from this era...how did u do it?

  • If any Coach did this today...heavens.

  • he was and still is the worst thing to happen to college basketball...

  • @ukcatfan07 i love how a kentucky fan takes the time to comment about one of the greatest coaches in college basketball as he sits and watches one of the shadiest cheaters in sports coach his team. yeah, go get a life.

  • sooooo many white guys! :O

  • They should have forgot about the technical and punishing the team and just thrown his ass out.

  • Awesome...so proud to go to Indiana and be a hoosier....

  • I love all the douche bag Hoosier fans applauding Knight after the chair was thrown. "Yes, yes, throwing a chair across the court is a perfectly acceptable response to disagreeing with a call!" Lemmings.

  • @samuelaird Man, look at the lack of testosterone on this guy! "Lemmings"? Aw, you're so adept at condescension! You're probably one of those fans that complains when people around you stand during a game, if you watch sports at all.

  • Looking closely at those plays, the referees should have technical fouls called on them for their egregiously poor officiating.

  • this guy is my (coaches) hero

  • who are the refs names??

  • @purepl416 i believe london bardley made the call. Not sure if Tom rucker was working too. He was a big 10 official that knight realllllllllllllly hated

  • @bootsythornton *Bradley

  • 1:30 fucking brown nose Purdue player

  • 1:22 thumbs up so people wont waste time

  • Probably the proudest moment in Hoosier history.

  • @NayguLNaytion what about ur championship games? i mean throwing a chair? if i had beeen the father of any of those girls i would have beat his SORRY ASS!!!!! but u think thi is a proud moment....? u are a hoosier for sure...SAD

  • @bluegrassreb1 I'm not a hoosier fan, you cluck.

  • @bluegrassreb1 Seeing you attack Bobby Knight would've been funny. He would've probably beaten you to death, then went and had a cup of coffee.

  • @VampireYoshi IT WOULD BE A GOOD FIGHT. and after he killed me or anyone else he WOULD have a cup of coffee...thats exactly his style. That is my point...pure asshole/sorry excuse of a human being. but since he can coach b-ball there are people that love him.

  • @bluegrassreb1 another worthless kentucky fan trashing one of the greatest basketball coaches of all time. Wanna check out calipari's record or maybe kentucky's entire history of cheating? maybe you should trash your own program, trust me its worse.

  • @bluegrassreb1 just curious if you are a graduate from UK because you seem to display the typical lack of any kind of intelligence that one who goes to UK gets.

  • Bob Knight=Legend.

  • This guy's such a cry baby of a coach.

  • How do you feel about the chair?

  • And he threw it ON THE GROOUUNND!!!!!

    NOT PART OF THE SYSTEM!

    I'M A SPORTS COACH!!!!

  • Imagine how ape-shit the media would go if this happened today. It would be blown out of proportion and Bob Knight literally might be fired over it.

  • I was at this game. I was a sophomore. I was sitting in the balcony. I went with some guys from the dorm, Wright Quad, Jenkins House. A couple guys left in disgust. I stayed. Knight won with less talent than other schools, UK, UNC. Still, he was a bit of a psycho. A friend took Knight's introduction to coaching class and Knight went ballistic on him because his hair was a little long. I think Knight ruined Ricky Calloway in '88. Knight was pissed because Calloway didn't lift enough wei

  • my parents were at this game XD

  • My school's basketball coach was on the floor during this game.

  • did indiana end up winning this game?

  • @LoveIsGrand00 They did not win

  • man, what would he have done if he coached last year's squad?

  • LEGEND

  • as shitty as it was of him to throw the chair, he was right about the calls. funny thing is he usually was right about the calls he got in trouble for. he just went apeshit from time to time lol

  • I miss Bobby. Basketball has sucked at IU since he was fired.

  • @CharlyDontSurf how could you say that this year? we just knocked off the no 1 and 2 seeds in 3 weeks time!

  • motion offense...miss you dawg

  • how many times has he thrown chairs over the years? I remember seeing him do something similar in the 1990's and they showed it on Jay Leno, from a different camera angle.

    they are chanting BOBBY

  • the smart thing to do would have been to get the chair and get bob to sign it after the game...

  • can't control his temper how is this guy a coach? glad that someone surpassed his record.

  • @SnowbordrWRX did you start watching basketball last year?

  • @ingenuity he still doesnt watch it, hes some liberal idiot.

  • crazy bastard

  • Wow, those people were happy when he left. Half of them were cheering for his team! :)

  • refs at IU suck period. cant play more than 3 seconds without a whistle being blown. its awful...

    and im a hoosier

  • they should sell that chair on ebay

  • BOBBY KNIGHT!

  • How ridicuous is 6 free throws on 3 technical fouls??

  • who won that game?

  • @Omegax9000 purdue i believe

  • Who wants to guess how many times he made a racial comment against that ref?

  • @deboltisyodaddy

    Um...really? I can guess how many times you have a propensity for speaking out of your ass. Uncountable times would be my guess.

  • Hahaha I laugh at everytime xD IU rules!!!!! And Purdue sucks ass ^.^

  • Haha, great moment in Purdue-IU basketball history. They just don't do it like they used to.

  • i hate IU, but I hate referees more. This was great.

  • Gotta love Bobby Knight...LOL...

  • "It's 11-6, just 5 minutes in..."

    The fact he could get so angry, so early in the game is just ridiculous

  • Fuck Purdue, IU!

  • @MusicBeforeY2K you clearly dont understand the purdue iu rivalry, this was a showcase moment in the series for both programs.

  • @MrLcmcb I grew up in Bloomington, Indiana. I know how big this rivalry is.

  • grow up a black coach wouldve lost his job on the spot

  • @TjtheTrapper Not only that but morons would be saying he did it because he was black.

  • @TjtheTrapper You're tripping. A nigga would have been praised and prob get a raise

  • @TjtheTrapper

    Not if he won two championships (at that time)

  • Bobby Knight - the world's largest Gerber baby. Get his fucking ass off the floor would have been my statement to the schmucks talking to the refs.

  • Makes me proud to be a hoosier

  • @EdwardoisKing ur proud of this shit? ok.. i guess....

  • wow seriously, clearly bobby knight saw someone on the other side standing and he wanted to give them a chair to sit down.

  • i love watching people coming unglued

  • If my team received as many BS calls in 5 minutes as IU in this game I would throw a chair too!

  • I just wish Indiana had hired back Bobby Knight so he could lose to Kentucky for the rest of his career!!! HE HATES KENTUCKY AND HES GONNA LIVE THE REST OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE TRYING TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR THEM!!! AS A TRUE KENTUCKY FAN I HATE HIM but i respect him.

  • @olejimmyjames well, most people outside of kentucky hate kentucky because of their cheating ways.

  • look at that suck up at 1:26 going to get the chair

  • I never knew this happened at the beginning of the game. I guess if Knight had let things simmer for the entire game, he would have wound up throwing the scorer's table.

  • Yawn . . . Bobby always had to find ways to put the officials in their place (6 fouls on IU in five minutes of this game is no coincidence). Besides, 902 wins, 3 national championships, his graduation rate and the men he helped to produce speak volumes. Critics are a dime a dozen.

  • Bob Knight = is the G.O.A.T. at basketball coaching.

  • Do you think Gene Keardy and Bob Knight are friends yet?

  • who won this this game?

  • @Daisyno2 I believe the visiting Purdue University Boilermakers won that Saturday evening game by the score 72-63.

  • Yeah, he's a legend and he was good and Indy hasn't been the same since, but this is really uncalled for.

  • @dannyd1572 I'm not saying that it was a smart move, but Bob had every right to be super pissed! 6 team fouls, 2 of which wear personal fouls on the same player, all in 5 MINUTES????? THATS BULLSHIT!!!!! I probably would've thrown something too!

  • This is the kind of role model we need today. College basketball - no, sports in general - have become pussified.

  • why does a purdue player go pick the chair up?

  • @Daisyno2 souvenir LOL

  • anyone know why steve reed ran over there by the chair? he didnt come back with anyhthing..

  • Jeez, what did the chair do to him?

  • Bobby Knight sure knew how to rally the troops!

  • If knight were in the NBA ratings would go through the roof!

  • Thanks for posting this. I never knew how many technical fouls were called or how many free throws were taken by Purdue. Also, didn't realize the IU AD came onto the floor as well.

  • love bobby

    

  • The free thrower Steve is my boss now, president of ct transportation. Great guy.

  • is that chair still around? maybe sold somewhere on ebay or is it in a junkyard? lol

  • i wonder where or what he did after he was ejected... would have been funny if he came out in disquise like that baseball mgr did once lol

  • @arlichar11 Actually, this is one of the only things Knight ever apologized for.

  • @TheAustingd Purdue won 72 - 63

  • way to throw your chair now you have to stand the whole game

  • @MrSpurrier does bobby knight seem like the kinda guy that wants to sit during a basketball game?

  • Looks more like he was mad at the cheerleaders.

  • If that chair was thrown 2 feet to the right he would have messed up some old ladies in wheelchairs

  • 1:17 for chair toss

  • Is one of the announcers Lanny Frattare??

    He also was an announcer for the Pittsburgh Pirates for many years.

  • One of the greatest moments in sports history!!

    Bobby Knight is a great coach!!

  • Comment removed

  • I'd love to see a clip of Ted Valentine T'ing him up 3 times against Illinois in 98'. One of his assistant coaches I think it was said that was the maddest he had ever seen him, including this game!

  • Remember growing up in NW Ohio watching Indiana games on Ft. Wayne station with my dad. Watched this game and was laughing my ass off. Saw plenty of tantrums watching Ohio State football with Woody Hayes and Indiana basketball with Knight.

  • Comment removed

  • It's hard to believe this was 26 years ago, I remember watching it live. This only made me love Knight more.

  • Passion

  • bob knights assistants probably did a LOT of coaching over the years.

  • i dont get why Bobby was T'd up in the first place, he went bck to his chair, sat down, then got the T called on him

  • @johnnycajxrt he probably said his worst insult when he sat down.

  • This is one of the greatest moments in college basketball history!!

  • gotta love that red suit.

  • Well damn since Knight got ejected who's gonna coach the team ass't head coach?

  • Coach Knight no remember your blood pressure!

  • Bobby Knight = Legend!!!!!

  • Purdouche

  • looky here, looky here. bobby knight just threw his chhhaaaiieeeeerrr

  • Look at the Hoosiers cheer as their coach makes himself look like a jackass and embarrass the school.

  • Maybe he was just trying to give a chair to someone on the other side who did not have one. He was just being nice. NOT!!! :-)

  • Bobby Knight throws a chair (High Quality) is so much better than Bobby Knight throws a chair (Low Quality).

  • 6 free throws lol

  • All of the IU students in attendance at that game now serve us at drive-through windows nationwide.

  • To the guy that said Purdue hasn't done shit in all this time. False. PU has more BIG Ten titles then anyone (22) IU has 5 NC's. IU does have a better tradition, but if you are going to come on here and bash PU atleast crawl out from under the rock and do some research.

    Xavier, ND, LSU, Wyoming, NW, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Utah all claim a Helms National championship or pre tournament NC.

  • @canman3423 PU has 2 more big ten championships than IU. I think ill trade that for 5 national titles, wouldnt you?

  • @MrLcmcb hell no. Championships always.

  • I. WAS. THERE!!!!!

  • Sometimes you just have to throw a chair XD

  • Bobby has 3 National Titles, the last undefeated season in men's college basketball, and the all time winningest coach and the sad thing is this is the only thing he is known for.

  • Who won this game?

  • I love that a 95% free throw shooter when 3/6 at the line for the technicals. Obviously, Knight got into the players' heads. Greatest of all time

  • Im a life long Illinois fan, but I sure do miss Bobby Knight and good Indiana style basketball. And I hate Purdue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! What a great moment in sports!

  • Purdue has 1 championship

  • @cubiczerconium they actually have 0 dumb fuck learn basketball before you talk again.

  • @Smetzer9 They actually do have one, from 1932. There was no tournament in those days, the NCAA just voted the winner each year. You should learn some basketball before crawling from your dumbass institution to tell people they're wrong when they're actually right. Dumbass, looking like an idiot on YouTube.

  • @19VanHalen84 Purdue is the ONLY college who counts that as a championship. win a fucking tournament then you can say Purdue is worth something. Until Then you are known as a 0 win championship team and you will always choke in the tournament.

  • @19VanHalen84 getting voted a national champion does not get credited as winning a national championship. Learn your own basketball.

  • @cubiczerconium No they dont. Getting voted a national champion before the tournament begin doesnt mean anything.

  • IU lost this game 72-63 to Purdue. Boiler Up! It seems that even a chair tossing episode isn't enough to wake up that group of Hoosier rejects.

  • "He has golfing atire on", hahah, what year was it when bobby decided, eff suits, I can wear whatever I want to coach! Was it after his 2nd championship?

  • That wasn't a throw, it was more like a curling push

  • @BoilerByBlood Purdue's "one championship" you refer to was voted on by members of the media...Purdue didn't do anything or beat anybody in any tournament to deserve that "title." If that's the only "title" you refer to that's "proudly hanging in Mackey Arena" then you really set your standards high dont you? Oh, IU has technically won an NIT championship too so that makes our total 6...whoaaa. Fact is, no one gives a s*** about a voted championship. Get a REAL banner and get back to me.

  • @GoHoosiers12 get a decent football team and get back to me, wuld ya

  • @GoHoosiers12 oh shit nigger

  • @GoHoosiers12

    Oh well, who cares about basketball. Enjoy your stupid liberal arts degree in theatre from IU. and good luck finding a job. And no, I do not go to Purdue.

  • @yepyep23231 hey CUNT, don't forget that IU has one of the most reputable business schools in the nation. Please, next time try and portray yourself as an educated human being instead of a worthless, 99% Occupying piece of shit.

    And yes, I do go to IU.

    ...And yes, you can blow me
