Is there a subject in the main clause of a sentence like, "That victory in the final four isn't possible makes Coach Knight angry"? If so what is it? I'm not sure if Coach Knight is a subject because he is being made angry by something. Am I correct in this assumption?

It is the noun clause 'That victory in the final four isn't possible', acting as subject of the verb 'makes'.
This would be clearer if the sentence were written:
'It makes Coach Knight angry that victory in the final four isn't possible.' The main clause is then 'It makes Coach Knight angry', and the dependent noun clause is 'that victory in the final four isn't possible' in apposition to 'it'.
