                     HONORING COACH GLENN ROBINSON

  (Mr. PITTS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PITTS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Coach Glenn Robinson 
of Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster.
  For 45 years, since he was only 25 years old, Coach Robinson has been 
leading the F&M Diplomats to victory. Coach Robinson is the winningest 
coach in the history of Division III basketball. He is now only the 
third college basketball coach ever to win 900 games, behind only 
legendary Bobby Knight of Indiana and Philadelphia's Bob Magee.
  Four times he has broken his own school record for best record in the 
season, 12 times he has been named Region Coach of the Year by the 
National Association of Basketball Coaches, 12 times he has been 
Conference Coach of the Year, he has once been Division Coach of the 
Year, and he has won 93 postseason victories, 42 NCAA tournament 
victories, including 16 trips to the Sweet 16, 10 trips to the Elite 8, 
five trips to the Final 4, and one national championship appearance.
  True leadership is servant leadership, the kind that finds people's 
strengths. Coach Robinson is an exemplary leader, and the proof of that 
is that he brings out the best in his players, 25 of whom have gone 
all-American.
  Coach Robinson is one of the greatest coaches in college history, and 
Lancaster will always be rightly proud of him.
