I just love the game of basketball so much. The game! I don't need the 18,000 people screaming and all the peripheral things. To me, the most enjoyable part is the practice and preparation.

I've never predicted anything. All I have ever said is, that we will do the very best we can.

A quick way for any player to make himself better is to think about what he himself doesn't like to play against

Practice structure determines success.

From the time I started teaching, when I was 21, I've always signed my name Bob Knight. My college coach called me Bobby, still does. But I have never introduced myself to anybody in my adult life in any way other than, "I'm Bob Knight."

What 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

When we're playing a good scoring center, we tell our team that it is not our defensive man's job to stop the center. It's the responsibility of our perimeter people to stop the ball from going inside.
