If there is something incorrect about the way in which I presented my understanding of the choking scenario and its aftermath, I would like to be corrected. I did see the video on You Tube. I did read quotes from the administration and athletic dept. personnel portraying Reed as dishonest about the accusation of choking.

Your justification for Knight’s excesses sound like the justification given for hazing by fraternities. The frat members who got through it loved their frats. That does not justify the abuse which will inevitably go to far in some cases. Nonethelss, what is the justification for the cover up? How can that not undermine his moral authority, or character, in the eyes of the young men who played for him - or worse, does it empower them to do the same because their mentor did so?
