Bob Knight, one of college basketball's winningest coaches during 42 seasons at the U.S. Military Academy, Indiana University and Texas Tech, and who led the U.S. Olympic team to a gold medal in 1984, died Wednesday, November 1 at age 83. In this "Sunday Morning" profile that aired March 17, 2002, correspondent Bill Geist talks with Knight (nicknamed "The General") about his philosophy of teaching; his competitiveness; and his tantrums on the court (which led to his firing from Indiana). Geist also talks with players Andre Emmett and Andy Ellis about playing under Coach Knight.
