Former Indiana player details abusive experience with Bob Knight's legendary anger

Oh my goodness.

Former Indiana basketball player Todd Jadlow played for the legendary coach Bob Knight who had equally legendary anger issues to match. Jadlow played for Knight from 1985-89 and wrote about some harrowing experiences in a book he wrote titled "Jadlow: On The Rebound" where he described his descent into a life of drugs, alcohol, and family incarceration.

Also in the book was a description of several experiences with Knight that are less than savory if the accusations are true. Jadlow accuses Knight of punching him, breaking a clipboard over his head, and grabbing him by the testicles and squeezing.

That sounds incredibly disturbing and apparently Knight made fun of Jadlow's facial tic in front of the entire team while also calling teammate Darryl Thomas a "(bleeping) p****", and made team managers wallpaper Thomas' locker with pictures of female genitalia. That wasn't it as Jadlow says Knight also threw tampons at him during practice.

Everyone knows Knight had some serious anger issues when he was coaching, but this goes beyond anything he did on the court and in today's world would have easily been grounds to fire him.
