Former Indiana player says Bob Knight punched him, squeezed his testicles

One of Bob Knight’s former players at Indiana University is punching back.

Todd Jadlow, who played for Knight and the Hoosiers from 1985 to 1989, has written a new book in which he accuses the former coach of abusing him and his teammates physically and emotionally.

Bob Kravitz of WTHR TV in Indianapolis details the book’s most stark accusations in an article he posted this week, which includes an interview with Jadlow.

In “Jadlow: On The Rebound” the former Hoosiers forward alleges that Knight punched him, broke a clipboard over his head and made a habit of grabbing Jadlow and other players by the testicles and squeezing, Kravitz says.

“If he did those things today,” Jadlow told Kravitz, “he would be in jail.”

Jadlow’s book also recounts the player’s struggles with drugs and alcohol.
