To Be As Good As It Can

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."

All The Years I Coached, We Sent A Card To Every Professor For Each Kid I Had, And I Was Able To Keep Track On A Daily Basis Who Cut Class Or Who Was Dropping A Grade Average. What I Did Was Bring That Kid In At 5:00 In The Morning, And He Would Run The Stairs From The Bottom To The Top Until I Told Him To Quit.

All Of Us Learn To Write In The Second Grade. Most Of Us Go On To Greater Things.

As His Team Prepares, A Coach's Entire Being Must Be Concentrated On Winning Games.

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.
