I think any time you have the chance to play early in the season really tells you what you have and don’t have, … Right now, a freshman is a freshman. This early, they’re question...

Tucker is impressive without his basketball skills because he’s one of those guys that makes other people play better. Tucker has the kind of enthusiasm that Ronald Ross has.

I’m not shopping this idea, … All I’m doing is, if people express interest in it, I’m explaining our product. They’re not giving me the time of day here. I’m absolutely perplexed by that.

This Event is a good test for any program because there are teams in it every year who compete for the national championship. Plus it’s a great chance to support the fight against cancer. There...

They’re not going to play any different. It’s going to be the same. You can’t change that. They are a little bit like we’ve been. They play better at home than on the road.

We’re going to be successful one way or the other. We’re going to give it one more year in Topeka. In all likelihood we’ll build it on the reservation on the northeast tip of the...

Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.

Son, 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.

Marsha has done a great job with her teams over her entire career at Texas Tech. Her teams have set a very high standard on how the game of basketball should be played.

I don’t think I have ever been out of control.

I don’t have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb.

When you’ve got a team in a position to stick the knife in the heart, you’ve got to be able to do it, and we have not been able to do that. I really liked...

I will tell you, you have some formidable infrastructure strengths, with turnpike numbers beyond what people think. So, you know you can handle the large numbers, because you’re handling them right now. You have an...

Walking has been ridiculous in college basketball the past 15 years.

At the half, I felt like we played well enough to stay in the game. I thought we were going to come back out in the second half and shoot a lot better than we...

We just got our (butt) beat by a much better team, sometimes that happens. We made a lot of mistakes but a lot of them were forced.

Why talk now when so many things have been said without ever giving me a chance to talk?

[March 21, pot shot: What ex-Indiana coach Bob Knight took at current Hoosiers head man Mike Davis, his former assistant, during a radio interview.] The guy that’s coaching there is a guy, … that I...

It was originally laid out for law firms, so it’s a great building for law-type businesses and banks. But we’re not being exclusive.

I’m an unemployed teacher right now and I’m looking for a place to teach.

We don’t have any physical description. We don’t know how many subjects were involved, which is mind boggling, with all those people around,

They’re a very good basketball team. We’re not a very good basketball team.

He said he didn’t feel like he was helping the team and he didn’t want to play anymore. I told him I was sorry it didn’t work out for him. He said he didn’t blame...

There’s some good guys like (Harry) Carson and (Leonard) Marshall you keep telling me about, and you keep getting on their (expletive).

We wanted to really double up on Jones. They reacted really well to it. We really didn’t rotate well.

Texas impressed me as being as good as any team I’ve seen play in this league. We made a lot of mistakes, but a lot of them were forced by the way they played. We...

At one point, I said to the officials that you guys haven’t called walking for 20 years, now you don’t know what it is. When you call walking, you’re about half right.

Hey, what’s up, Knight?

I’m not a great positive thinker. By that I mean I prepare for things that can go wrong. In golf, if you think about things that can go wrong, you’re in trouble.

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

Pat has been instrumental in what we’ve done here so far and the most selfish thing for me is that I want to see what we’ve done placed in the hands of the most competent...

They’re big, they go after the ball, they’re very aggressive. You know, Aldridge is the best center in America.

That’s been our problem and when it happens to us we have not been able to counter it, and tonight we did. They did things we have not been getting done.

The state clearly could use another $100 to $150 million a year in revenue and I don’t think there’s much patience left with raising taxes.

I have always thought that you start out the season trying to win the national championship. When that’s eliminated, you are trying to go to the NCAA tournament. … Our goal was to win a...

I think we had an effort, but I don’t think we played very well. If you’re not scoring and not getting shots, it has a lot to do with defensive play.

The key is not the “will to win” . . . everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important.

This 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.

First time I met Brand, I said, ‘This is not gonna be good.’ I saw who I was working for. I didn’t think they were competent, but I thought I could continue. I was wrong,

If I came in to recruit your son, I would tell you, your wife, and your son, that I will be the most demanding coach your son can play for.

The guy had no clue, … But that was irrelevant. If (UC president Nancy Zimpher) didn’t like what she saw, it’s her prerogative to change it. Whether she’s right or wrong doesn’t matter. That’s something...

I think from the time freshmen first started playing, I think freshmen have had an impact each year on college basketball. I don’t think in any way it’s different than what’s transpired before.

South central Kansas will be left out of the mix.

(Martin) Zeno and (Michael) Prince are handling the ball and had nine turnovers between them.

We’ve had more downs that we’ve normally encountered. In the whole spectrum you can fit into from being very, very good to being very, very bad, and we’re somewhere in the middle of that. …...

They impress me as much as any team I have seen in this league. We made a lot of mistakes, but most of them were forced as a result of the way they play.

Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win.

We’ve been a team that’s really struggled all year. And the struggles haven’t stopped.

I like Huggins a lot, … and I respect him as a basketball coach. Make sure you write that.

The key is not the will to win… everybody has that. It is the will to prepare to win that is important.
