Bob Knight has a long history of being a violent, crass, rude and terrible person. People ignored it for a very long time and still ignore to some extent.
The FBI of all people are investigating Bob Knight for sexually harassing women during a speech at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
Here are a few of their accounts of what happened.
One female employee said that “she felt his hand on her buttocks” as she told Knight where to stand and how to use the microphone before he was scheduled to go on stage.
A different woman, who rode in the car that picked Knight up from the train station, said that the famed coach reached up and “massaged her shoulder” while she was in the passenger’s seat and he was seated behind her. He asked if she was an athlete and when she said that she had been in high school, he responded “Do you want to know how I knew? I watched you from behind and saw how you walked in those heels.” She said that he later put his hands on her shoulders “like in a conga line.”
A third female employee said that Knight joked about wanting to hug her and “swatted her on the buttocks.”
A fourth woman testified that Knight had put his hands around her shoulders while taking a picture and then “continued to hug her as they walked away,” which she described as inappropriate. He later tried to hug her again, but she walked ahead. A fifth woman said that Knight “put his arm tightly around her shoulder” during conversation, leaving her to try “unsuccessfully to pull away.” Later, as she was walking away, he slid his hand “down the side of her body and over her hip.”
To top it all off Knight mocked a deaf man and called him uncoachable.
