He said we beat IU unexpectedly in early to mid-80s and Bobby Knight was so pissed off that he took an LSU student fan and threw him in a trashcan!? My dad has been known for tall tales, but I have heard this story from others, though I had not thought about it in a while.
Does anyone know the validity to this and, if so, when and where did it happen?
To my knowledge, LSU has Never beat Indiana in basketball before, during, or after Coach Knight.
I don't think Coach Knight actually physically harmed an LSU fan. I think the fan was drunk and fell into a trash can. I could be wrong but I don't think so.
I would want Dale Brown for my dad, but have Bobby Knight as my coach. It amazes me the bullying Knight got away with as a coach. It wasn't like Knight was a third degree Black Belt expert. Coach Knight got away with this bc no one had the balls to stand up to him and tell him to GTFO.

Found it odd that this was in the Amarillo news paper this morning in regards to the trash can incident...

You could not be MORE wrong. Louis Bonnecaze, a CPA and LSU fan, congratulated Knight on his victory at the Final Four in 1981.
Knight repied "I guess we weren't your damn tiger bait after all." To which Bonnecaze replied "Knight's an a-hole." Knight then forcefully pushed Bonnecaze backward. If there had not been a garbage can behind him, he may have struck his head or been injured. Knight didn't push him "on purpose" into the garbage can. It just happened to be in the area behind where Knight attacekd him.
And no, the LSU fan was not "drunk." Not sure where you conjured that up from.
Dale Brown did get one thing right - Knight is a "despicable human being."
