More quotes by Bobby Knight
Everybody hears, but few listen.
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
All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things.
Bobby Knight
I would rather be thought of as a teacher than a coach.
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
I have always maintained that in basketball the importance of the mental to the physical is about four to one.
Bobby Knight
Don't fight the rabbits. If you fight the rabbits, the elephants are going to kill you.
Bobby Knight
Your biggest opponent isn't the other guy. It's human nature.
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
People want national championship banners. People want to talk about Indiana being competitive. How do we get there? We don't get there with milk and cookies.
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
Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.
Bobby Knight
There are times when my passion for basketball led me into confrontations that I could have handled a lot better. I've always been too confrontational, especially when I know I'm right.
Bobby Knight
I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.
Bobby Knight
The red I wear is Indiana's red, not Moscow's red. Indiana was here long before communism.
Bobby Knight
The structure of your practice is the main reason for your success or lack of success as a coach
Bobby Knight
Pat has been instrumental in what we've done here so far and the most selfish thing for me is that I want to see what we've done placed in the hands of the most competent person, and that's Pat. No one would come close to being able to continue to build on what we've done here so far like he will.
Bobby Knight
I always designed my practice plans the night before and then made tweaks a few hours before practice began
Bobby Knight
If I were in charge I'd drug test all you sons of b****es, not just the athletes.
Bobby Knight
I don't think I have ever been out of control.
Bobby Knight
