Bobby Knight once got away with it, but not Nick Moore. Moore posted on social media Monday that he had been relieved of his duties as boys' basketball coach at Gary Lighthouse Prep Academy in Gary, Ind., after his ejection Friday from a game in which he launched a chair from the sideline toward one of the baskets.

As reported by the Chicago Tribune, video footage from Bowman Academy's 92-91 victory against the Lions shows Moore picking up a chair and hurling it toward the Eagles’ basket. Lighthouse was trailing 73-65 with 6:32 left in the game when a traveling call against one of his players triggered the outburst. An assistant had to stop Moore from throwing another chair after he tossed the first one.
