I was not quite 7 years old for that loss to Indiana in 1987. Just reading that article was kinda painful. Had a double digit lead and couldn't hang on to reach the final four in New Orleans. Looks like Knight should've/could've easily been tossed after continuing his antics despite having already been T'd up once.

Still, the only sporting event I've ever walked out of mad because of the way the refs jobbed us.

Two examples:
- Bobby Knight not getting thrown out for breaking the phone after he had already been T-ed up for arguing a 3-second call.
- An Indiana player bear hugging Fess Irvin from behind and getting a jump ball call instead of a foul in the last minute of the game.

The refs were totally intimidated by Knight and the 90% pro-Indiana crowd.
