Coach Bob Knight Is Going to Heaven!

Well, according to local "clergy" and the coach himself. A recent article in the Indianapolis News said, "Coach Knight is going to heaven and there's nothing we can do about it. Despite his sins  the so called head butting, cussing, chair throwing and alleged kick to his son's leg  the hot tempered Indiana University basketball coach will likely be allowed to pass through the Pearly Gates, local clergy and theologians say." One local minister was quoted as saying, "If that's the worst he does, that's not that bad." Knight said of himself, "I think I'm a pretty good guy. I've often said this to some of the sanctimonious self-righteous critics that I have: `I would hope when judgment day comes, they don't have to appear before St. Peter's table with me and only one space available for both of us and the judgment being made on which of us has done the most for his fellow man. I have no doubt St. Peter will turn to me and say, `Robert, pass through the gate."'
