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
A coach should never be afraid to ask questions of anyone he could learn from.
Bobby Knight
Good basketball always starts with good defense!
Bobby Knight

Bobby Knight
I'm not sure sports writing is an art.
Bobby Knight

Bobby Knight
The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.
