In 1971, a young basketball coach named Bob Knight came to Indiana University. Over the next few decades, he became a coaching god.

And yet, there was another side to that success. In April 1999, Robert Abbott, a producer for CNN/Sports Illustrated, began reporting a story investigating why three high school All-Americans had left Knight's program over the prior two years.
