                    NO SURPRISE BOB KNIGHT WAS FIRED

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, it is no surprise that Bob Knight was 
fired.
  But think about it. Bob Knight's athletes did not rape women, did not 
commit murder, did not molest children, did not carry guns, and did not 
sell drugs.
  In fact, Bob Knight's student athletes were most noted for 
graduating, winning championships, being gentlemen, and exhibiting 
discipline and respect.
  Beam me up.
  Bob Knight was a coach, not a guidance counselor or a spiritual 
leader.
  I yield back all those zero-tolerant, overpaid, IUD administrators 
that Bob Knight should have kicked right in the crotch.
