And if you were chosen to interview Indiana Coach Bob Knight about his anger management problems, you would obviously watch the 1997 tape of him applying a one-handed choke hold to the throat of Neil Reed, a former player. But Roy Firestone of ESPN accepted the job of interviewing Knight by avoiding the tape. How any sports journalist could have avoided seeing the choking tape since CNN/SI first showed it on April 13, even by accident, is mystifying. But to purposely not watch it during preparation is reckless. ''That was a surprise,'' said Steve Anderson, an ESPN executive vice president. ''Roy should have watched the tape.''.
