LUBBOCK, TEXAS (AP) - Embattled Texas Tech men's basketball coach Bobby Knight angrily defended himself today against accusations that he went through a local supermarket's express lane with more than the maximum number of items allowed by store policy.
When confronted with the video evidence of his obviously-intentional miscue, the fiery coach said, "I had one coupon for 4 2-liters of pop; I thought that only counted as one item."
On ESPN's "Around The Horn," a hysterical Woody Paige called for Knight's resignation from the Texas Tech head coaching position.
"He should resign, or at the very least, be suspended for the rest of the season," Paige shouted over the three other sportswriters who were also shouting on the program. "This is just the latest example of Bob Knight's disregard for the rules that common people should live by. He honestly believes that he is somehow 'above' Safeway store policy."
When told of Paige's comments, which were typical of the media reaction to the Knight mistake, Knight said, "$%#^."
