THE ANTICS FINALLY CAUGHT UP WITH INDIANA COACH BOBBY KNIGHT.

((SOT: MYLES BRAND/UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT)) - 16:26:44
"I NOTIFIED HIM THAT HE WAS BEING REMOVED AS BASKETBALL COACH EFFECT IMMEDIATELY."
UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS ANNOUNCED THE COACH'S FIRING ON SUNDAY -- FED UP WITH WHAT THEY SAY HAS BEEN A CONTINUED PATTERN OF UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR. THE MOST RECENT ALLEGATIONS LEVELED JUST DAYS AGO ... WHEN A 19-YEAR OLD FRESHMAN ACCUSED KNIGHT OF GRABBING HIS ARM AND VERBALLY SCOLDING HIM -- FOR AN INFORMAL GREETING.

((SOT: KENT HARVEY/FRESHMAN, INDIANA UNIVERSITY))
"HE WANTED ME TO CALL HIM COACH OR MR. KNIGHT OR WHATEVER. I WASN'T REALLY LISTENING VERY WELL BECAUSE I WAS SO NERVOUS AND SO SHOCKED AT WHAT WAS HAPPENING.
KNIGHT LATER DENIED THE CLAIMS OF PHYSICAL CONTACT, BUT TO NO AVAIL.
FOR KNIGHT, THIS ENDS WHAT WAS A SUCCESSFUL YET TUMULTUOUS CAREER AT INDIANA. HIS THREE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS TARNISHED BY HIS TIRADES ON AND OFF THE COURT.
((NAT))
BUT AFTER THIS TAPE SURFACED LAST SPRING SHOWING KNIGHT ALLEGEDLY CHOKING A PLAYER DURING A 1997 PRACTICE, THE UNIVERSITY SUSPENDED AND FINED HIM. THE SCHOOL'S PRESIDENT VOWED ANOTHER INCIDENT AND HE'D BE FIRED.
THE PRESIDENT KEPT HIS WORD.

((SOT: MYLES BRAND/UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT)) - 16:20:43
"UNFORTUNATELY THERE HAVE BEEN MANY INSTANCES IN THE LAST 17 WEEKS IN WHICH COACH KNIGHT HAS BEHAVED AND ACTED IN A WAY THAT IS BOTH DEFIANT AND HOSTILE."
KNIGHT WALKS AWAY FROM INDIANA UNIVERSITY 117 WINS SHORT OF THE ALL-TIME RECORD.
