[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 559370, member: 2426"] Neil Reed absolutely did have a problem with it. He left Indiana at the same time Jason Collier left Indiana to come to GT. He didn't slap Reed, he pushed him aggressively with two hands in a choke hold. Other people took the story to the media. Reed didn't talk to the media until Knight got word of the allegations going public and spoke negatively in the media about Reed. Knight and Indiana badmouthed Reed and other players who had backed his story and absolutely denied that the incident happened. CNN received a video tape of the practice in which the incident happened and announced that they were going to show the video that evening. Indiana had people fly to Atlanta to meet with CNN before it was shown. Those people didn't want to see the video, they threatened CNN with prosecution and lawsuits if they didn't return the video and any copies because they were stolen property of the University of Indiana. The video ended at the choking, and didn't show the aftermath in which Reed claimed that Knight was held from back from continuing the assault by other players while berating Reed. Indiana gave Knight a three game suspension and put him on a zero-tolerance policy towards physical contact with student-athletes. Shortly after that, he met a student(not a student-athlete) who asked him "What's up Knight?", and he grabbed that student by the arm and cursed the student about manners. Many IU fans wanted him to remain the coach at the time. There were even Indiana fan rallies where they burned Neil Reed in effigy. Knight did trash the media, but he claimed that the media was just out to get him. He claimed that the incident that was being reported absolutely did not happen, and that the players only said that it happened because the reporter was convincing them to lie. The school threatened the news organization who was reporting with criminal charges if they didn't turn over the proof that the incident did happen and not report it. The only thing that seems similar to me between Knight and Joseph is the "absolute" denial that any of the accusations ever happened. The fact that Knight, the university President, and the athletic department absolutely denied that anything even remotely similar to the incident described by Reed is what caused the public to turn against them. Being told that the players are all liars, and then seeing video evidence that it did indeed happen broke all credibility of Knight. If evidence, or even statements from players become public about Joseph that contradict her "absolute" denial that she acted this way, her credibility will be broken also. [/QUOTE]
