I was a beneficiary of some Coach Knight benevolence, but considering likely eternity I lean heavily that he will be in heaven. Mathew 7 says "By their fruit you will know them." Johnny Wooden may be in trouble, but Bobby Knight turned out numerous devout Christian athletes. I knew a few personally.
So we are told not to judge, but God clearly used this rough cut leader as in many scriptures. It would be nice to find him there.
What beautiful sentiments for a life well lived.
Very Nice Tribute....
Thank you for an excellent, balanced tribute Gary.
