Chris Beard used to work for Bob Knight and as you probably remember, Knight had some periodic issues with referees and some spectacular ejections.
There was the chair toss and the run-in with Ted Valentine among many others. Toss in stuffing a cop in a trash can in Puerto Rico and he’s setting a standard that, thankfully, is had to meet. He never failed to make his point, uh, rigorously and intensely.
By contrast, Beard has, at least publicly, always come across as a pretty relaxed guy who is comfortable in his own skin. We’re sure in practice he’s very intense but part of his charm is that he never seems to go too nuts.
