BOBBY KNIGHTSon, 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 KNIGHTThe single most important aspect of coaching is running effective practices
BOBBY KNIGHTYou play ball against yourself; your opponent is your potential.
BOBBY KNIGHTMost people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win.
BOBBY KNIGHTThe structure of your practice is the main reason for your success or lack of success as a coach
BOBBY KNIGHTYou 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 KNIGHTThe red I wear is Indiana’s red, not Moscow’s red. Indiana was here long before communism.
BOBBY KNIGHTYou remember when you were a kid growing up, and believed in Santa Claus? There’s not much difference between Santa Claus and me today, you know. We’re two overweight lovable guys that kids really enjoy.

BOBBY KNIGHTI, fortunately, have never worried about irritating people.

BOBBY KNIGHTWhat is the best thing you can do in a close game? Drive to the basket and put pressure on the defense! Not jack up jump shots
BOBBY KNIGHTThis is like the town council just hired a new marshal to clean up the town, I guarantee you, if I stay here long enough, they’ll get rid of me, too.
BOBBY KNIGHTI’ve never predicted anything. All I have ever said is, that we will do the very best we can.
