This sounds like a guy who's got a lot of control issues. I don't doubt he's done some good or that he's having qualms of conscience about this latest record-expunging incident. Unfortunately, like a lot of abusive spouses, he may go through the ritual of apologizing without changing.
The sexual harassment incident and the fact that he can make life miserable for people who rub him the wrong way is troubling. Also the hypocrisy of giving a swimmer the cold shoulder until he wins and then acting like his best buddy.... Bobby Knight has a record of physical as well as emotional abuse, but the problem is that verbal and other types of abuse, including the silent treatment, can be as emotionally debilitating in some ways as outright violence.
Seems to me that if he is to return, there has to be something more than an apology. Some kind of anger management work might be in order as well. Also I agree with Allen Stark that dismissing those who got their records erased as "bad apples" serves no good purpose.
