More quotes by 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
America has the greatest reputation in the world for helping others whenever and wherever disaster strikes. Now, more than ever,it's important for us to contribute to those who are in need. Your assistance is really beneficial and will be greatly welcomed and appreciated.
Bobby Knight
As I've said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators - not recently - fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.
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.

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.'

The biggest difficulty in getting to the top of the ladder is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
Bobby Knight
Basketball may have been invented in Massachusetts, but it was made for Indiana.
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
Well, I think it's pretty much established that I just didn't have any interest in coaching in the pros.
Bobby Knight
The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.
Bobby Knight
A coach should never be afraid to ask questions of anyone he could learn from.
Bobby Knight
If I were in charge I'd drug test all you sons of b****es, not just the athletes.
Bobby Knight
Failure, to me, is not having the desire to try. Having the desire to try is in it own way success.
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
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
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.
Bobby Knight
I, fortunately, have never worried about irritating people.
