"It was vintage Bob Knight. He splintered chairs, shattered a water cooler, screamed at players and officials, and even lambasted the athletic director in a season-ending tirade that witnesses were sure would get him canned. Instead, the athletic director talked him out of taking another job and leaving for warmer climates." "In Same Knight, Different Channel, Jack Isenhour gives the first insider's account of that formative rookie year. He compares Bob Knight then to the Bob Knight who, years later, fell victim to "zero tolerance" at Indiana and to the Knight who now reigns at Texas Tech. As a former reserve guard on that first Army squad, Isenhour gives the reader the unique first-hand observations of a cadet and a ballplayer. He was also on hand to witness Knight's fall at Indiana University and his resurrection at Texas Tech."--BOOK JACKET.
