Three coaches flew to the NCAA convention. The plane crashed, and all three died. All three coaches 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 second best coach in the nation. I won two national championships and 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 third 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 third person stood before God and said, “I’m Bobby Knight and I have won three national championships, two NIT championships, the Pan Am Games, the Olympics, nine 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.”
