Indiana Basketball Coach Needed A Goofy Booster Seat To Honor Bob Knight’s Infamous Chair Throw
Legendary college basketball coach Bob Knight (in)famously threw a chair during a game between Indiana and Purdue on February 23. Sunday marked the 40th
Mike Woodson arrived Sunday at Assembly Hall ready to honor his mentor, the late Bob Knight, once more. So the outgoing Indiana coach brought his own red plastic chair, placed it on the floor between the Hoosiers’ metal folding chairs that are still tethered together and used it during the rivalry game against No. 13 Purdue.
The Hoosiers used their eighth different starting lineup, sending Oumar Ballo and Mackenzie Mgbako to the bench. It paid off with an upset of Purdue.

Indiana stopped Tom Izzo from breaking legendary Indiana head coach Bob Knight's Big Ten win record.
