During my 40-year coaching career at West Point, Indiana and Texas Tech, my teams reached the Final Four on five occasions, winning the national championship three times.

The goal is to make practice more difficult, physically/mentally, than anything your players will face during a game.

I have as many good friends in the media as anybody in sports has. It's just that I probably have a hell of a lot more enemies than anybody else.

Everyone wants to win, but not everyone is willing to prepare to win.

Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.

If my primary purpose here at Indiana is to go out and win ballgames, I can probably do that as well as anybody can. I would just cheat, get some money from a lot of people around Indianapolis who want to run the operation that way, and just go out and get the best basketball players I can. Then we'd beat everybody.

Victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes.
