But on that winter night in 1985 even Knight's mother, Hazel, sensed something was different as she watched the scene.
In the years following the chair-throwing game, former players told stories of Knight's practices, with some alleging physical, verbal or emotional abuse.
The chair stopped near the sideline and Reid helped retrieve it, linking him with Knight for college basketball eternity.
Longtime public address announcer Chuck Crabb had the unenviable task of telling fans Knight had been ejected.
"I get up, and I'm up and down a lot, and one time I'm standing up and I looked across the floor and (hear) 'Coach Knight?'"
