Indiana's Assembly Hall was the stage for a unique tribute to the late Bob Knight by current coach Mike Woodson during the recent rivalry game against No. 13 Purdue. Woodson brought his own red plastic chair, reminiscent of the one famously thrown by Knight in a fit of anger on February 23, 1985.
Woodson revealed that the chair he brought was the same one thrown by Knight all those years ago. He shared a story about how a former tennis coach, Scott Greer, had the foresight to retrieve the chair after the incident and had it signed by Knight and other notable figures. However, with the passing of key individuals involved, verifying the authenticity of the chair's history has become challenging.
