From Amazon:

Like his heroes Woody Hayes and George Patton, Indiana University coach Knight is alternately described as dedicated, dictatorial, compassionate, belligerent, and brilliant. Feinstein offers a close look at the man by following him and his basketball team through the 1985-86 season. Knight's mercurial personality is no better exemplified than in the famous chair-throwing incident and in his close relationship with a permanently injured former player. At times the author serves as an apologist, but he does manage to reflect the intensity of feelings generated by the Hoosier mentor. This book likely will leave fans with their love/hate opinions intact.
