JEANNE MESERVE, CNN ANCHOR: And now to Indiana, buzzing over the firing of Hoosier basketball coach Bob Knight. The school let him go yesterday, citing a confrontation with a freshman, and months of what officials call defiant and hostile behavior. The decision is not playing well with Knight supporters. CNN's Jeff Flock is on the campus in Bloomington, Indiana -- Jeff.</s>JEFF FLOCK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Jeanne, Frank, someone said yesterday, when Bobby Knight departed, a cloud lifted from the university, but perhaps you can see that there are certainly still clouds over the Bloomington campus today, as evidence by this downpour. Back behind me somewhere in the wet, perhaps you see what they call Assembly Hall. It is the basketball home of Bob Knight and his team. Somewhere deep in the bowels of that building there is an office that a man needs to clean out fairly soon. The cleanup here at Assembly Hall is just about complete. We have pictures last night of what it looked like about 12 hours ago actually. Students, about 2000 strong, came here to protest Knight's firing. He still has considerable support on this campus. Fires were set. Polls were ripped out of the ground. Street signs knocked down. Some lamp posts knocked over, about a half dozen arrests or so. No serious violence, but it all did not end until Bob Knight himself came out to calm the crowd.</s>BOB KNIGHT, FMR. INDIANA UNIV. BASKETBALL COACH: There's nobody that's ever coached that appreciate the support of students like I have. Within the next two days, I'm going to get together with as many student that will want to come, and I am going to tell you my side of this thing.</s>FLOCK: Bob Knight, with a stormy reign here at Indiana University, that now comes to an end after 29 years, 661 victories, 240 losses in that time. Many of his supporters point out that he did a lot of good, in addition to winning basketball games, but his detractors certainly cheered at the news this past few days here in Indiana. I am Jeff Flock, CNN, reporting live from the Bloomington campus. Back to you.
