教练鲍勃·奈特(Bob Knight)盘腿坐在会议厅的“洞穴”里，他经常在这个房间里花好几个小时复习比赛和练习磁带。他在那个房间里思考了很多，但是星期五他似乎很困惑。在另一项针对他的指控之后，奈特想知道为什么大学在5月份实施了“零容忍”政策，但还没有告诉他这意味着什么。nAthletics主任Clarence Doninger说，这项政策可能会在9月15日的国际田联理事会会议上提出。但是奈特现在正在接受调查。周五早些时候，奈特被指控用言语和身体攻击了新生肯特·哈维，因为他直呼教练的姓，不尊重教练。奈特否认了这些指控。当印第安纳大学警察局调查这一指控，哈维考虑对教练提出指控时，奈特在大学的未来就像政策一样不确定。“我不认为我的(零容忍)定义是适用的，”奈特告诉IDS。“我想知道别人是怎么想的，但没人能给我下定义。”\nFriday, Knight was unable to give an answer as to whether he would retire before his contract expires in 2002. \n"I don't know," he said. "We'll just have to wait and see."\nKnight added he was "very sick" of the controversies he has endured in the past few months. \nThe only concrete restrictions on the coach since the May 15 culmination of a four-month IU Board of Trustees investigation, were a three-game suspension and a $30,000 fine.\nAt the time, IU President Myles Brand said Knight will be fired immediately if it can be verified the coach had "inappropriate physical conduct" with anyone while employed by the University. Brand added Knight could be fired for failing to act with "appropriate decorum and civility."\nMark Shaw, Harvey's stepfather, said Knight grabbed his stepson above his right elbow, "yanked him around, got in his face and started yelling at him." Shaw said his stepson told him Knight used profanities.\nKnight compared the complaint to an incident in June of 1999 when he was accused of making a racist remark and choking a man who confronted him at the Nuestro Mexico restaurant in Ellettsville.\n"I don't think that the whole thing - from an accusation standpoint - is a lot different than the deal at the Mexican restaurant, where the whole thing was a farce," Knight said.\nKnight was never charged or punished in any way for that incident. Other complaints lodged against Knight, including "inappropriate contact" with former player Neil Reed, provoked the University into developing the zero-tolerance policy. When the University announced the decision to keep Knight and force him to adhere to a new code of conduct, even Doninger said it was unspecific.\n"To have a zero tolerance process in the future, we've seen how hard that is to follow in some of the school systems," Doninger told the IDS in a May 16 article. "We've seen some cases where zero-tolerance can lead to unusual circumstance, unusual results."\nDoninger said Friday that all inquiries regarding the recent allegation were to be directed to Christopher Simpson, IU vice president for public relations and government affairs.\nWhile camera crews and reporters swarmed Assembly Hall, Knight had a few questions of his own.\n"Let me ask you this; can you imagine ... being placed under these sanctions and grabbing some kid and screaming at him and cursing at him in a public place?" Knight asked. "There's one thing I'm not - and that's dumb. I've had restrictions placed on me, and whether I agree with those restrictions or not is not the point. The point is that if I coach, I have to live with these restrictions"
