Three coaches flew to the NCAA convention. The plane crashed; and all 3 died.
All 3 noticed God up in the clouds sitting in a chair. God motioned for one of them to come
into the clouds. God wanted to know three things:
Who are you?
What did you do?
What did people think of you?
The 1st person said, “I'm Denny Crum, I was 2nd best coach in the nation. I won 2 national
championships & over 20 games a year. The people of Kentucky think I'm great.”
God said, “Fine, Denny, stand on my right side.
The next person said, ”I'm Rick Pitino. I was the 3rd best coach in the nation. I won an SEC
Championship and turned the program around to a fairly respectable one. The people of
Kentucky think I'm great.“
God said, ”Fine, Rick, stand on my left side.“
The 3rd person stood before God and said, ”I'm Bobby Knight & I have won 3 national
championships, 2 NIT championships, the Pan Am Games, the Olympics, 9 Big Ten
championships, and I was the youngest coach ever to win 600 games, and the people of
Indiana think you are sitting in my chair."
