President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence are joined by legendary NCAA basketball coach Bobby Knight at a rally for GOP Senate hopeful Mike Braun.

Speaking in Indianapolis Friday, the former Indiana University basketball coach fired up the crowd, praising President Trump’s leadership.

Coach Knight has been an adamant supporter of the president, actively campaigning for him in 2016.

“I want you to join me in saying something else, just like they said it to Harry Truman, who was a great President and so is he and what I want you to say is very simply this: ‘Go get em Donald’.”

Knight added, while President Trump might not be the greatest at basketball defense, he’s a great defender of the United States.
