More quotes by Bobby Knight
Writing was far more of an art in the sports world than it is now.
Bobby Knight
I, fortunately, have never worried about irritating people.
Bobby Knight
Everybody hears, but few listen.
Bobby Knight
Well, I think it's pretty much established that I just didn't have any interest in coaching in the pros.
Bobby Knight
Everyone wants to win, but not everyone is willing to prepare to win.
Bobby Knight
We should not have to push you to work hard, you should work hard because you want to be a great player.
Bobby Knight
We've gotten into this situation where integrity is really lacking and that's why I'm glad I'm not coaching. You see we've got a coach at Kentucky who put two schools on probation and he's still coaching. I really don't understand that.
Bobby Knight
I think that it's perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don't want defeat. We don't want defeat in sport. We don't want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What's going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be?
Bobby Knight
When we're playing a good scoring center, we tell our team that it is not our defensive man's job to stop the center. It's the responsibility of our perimeter people to stop the ball from going inside.
Bobby Knight
Victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes.
Bobby Knight
I would rather be thought of as a teacher than a coach.
Bobby Knight
Your biggest opponent isn't the other guy. It's human nature.
Bobby Knight
When I first started coaching, one of the worst things that I think I heard was 'It will be O.K.' I would wonder, 'How the hell is it going to be O.K.?' The worst word in the English language is 'hope.'
Bobby Knight
I think that to stop an offense, you must go to the heart of that offense. If it is a particular move, a screen, the break, an outstanding scorer, whatever it is that they like to do and rely on, you have to work in your plans on taking that completely or as much as possible away from them.
Bobby Knight
I think that we as a people are always prone to think about, well, tomorrow will be a better day. Well, why will it be a better day? And I think the more that we believe in doing things better, doing the right thing rather than hoping that that's going to happen, let's make it happen.
Bobby Knight
Discipline is knowing what to do. Knowing when to do it. Doing it to the best of your abilities. Doing it that way every single time.
Bobby Knight
A coach should never be afraid to ask questions of anyone he could learn from.
Bobby Knight
I don't think I have ever been out of control.
Bobby Knight
If universities want to save a little money, they ought to make some cutbacks in administration and in faculty people who teach one class a week.
Bobby Knight
As coaches we talk about two things: offense and defense. There is a third phase we neglect, which is more important. It's conversion from offense to defense and defense to offense.
