More quotes by Bobby Knight
If I were in charge I'd drug test all you sons of b****es, not just the athletes.
Bobby Knight
I've never felt my job was to win basketball games - rather, that the essence of my job as a coach was to do everything I could to give my players the background necessary to succeed in life.
Bobby Knight
I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.
Bobby Knight
A coach should never be afraid to ask questions of anyone he could learn from.
Bobby Knight
You can't imagine the number of people in professional sports who have come up to me and said, God, you treat those assholes like I'd like to treat them. And my question is, Then why don't you?.
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
Don't fight the rabbits. If you fight the rabbits, the elephants are going to kill you.
Bobby Knight
The red I wear is Indiana's red, not Moscow's red. Indiana was here long before communism.
Bobby Knight
Everybody wants to be on a championship team, but nobody wants to come to practice.
Bobby Knight
Son, my name isn't Knight to you, it's coach Knight or it's Mr. Knight. I don't call people by their last name and neither should you.
Bobby Knight
I sit and wonder why no one uses the shot fake. The shot fake, when used correctly, can eliminate a defender
Bobby Knight
People change over the years, and that changes situations, for good and for bad.
Bobby Knight
Your biggest opponent isn't the other guy. It's human nature.
Bobby Knight
Defense is all about helping. No one can guard a good dribbler, You have to walk kids through how to help and then how to help the helper
Bobby Knight
All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things.
Bobby Knight
In my dealings with the press, I was like the guy who goes into the cathouse and the madam gets him prepared and looks at him and says, Who are you going to satisfy with that? And he looks back at her and says, Me. That's kind of my sense of humor at times.
Bobby Knight
Victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes.
Bobby Knight
Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.
Bobby Knight
At one point, I said to the officials that you guys haven't called walking for 20 years, now you don't know what it is. When you call walking, you're about half right.
Bobby Knight
Al McGuire talked to me I don't know how many times about dealing with the press: You've got to be a con man. I tried that for a day or so, but it never really worked for me.
