Bobby Knight Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Bobby Knight:

I'll tell you one thing about Donald Trump: There will never be a Benghazi in a Donald Trump administration.

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.

Bobby Knight

I watched the guy that hits a home run, and he comes across the plate and he points skyward, like thanking for the help from the Almighty to hit the home run. And as he does that, I say to myself, 'God screwed the pitcher.' And I don't know how else you look at it.

Bobby Knight

As I've said, basketball has been, I think, a real cooperative venture. There have been a lot of people that have been involved in it: coaches, administrators - not recently - fans and nobody, nobody any more so than students over the years.

Bobby Knight

People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad.

Bobby Knight

I think what Mr. Trump has is this - he has experiences. He has put more things together in businesses around the United States, around the world. And he's had some things that didn't go exactly right. He's been able to find a way to resurrect those things. He's been able to make some changes.

Bobby Knight

Well, I think it's pretty much established that I just didn't have any interest in coaching in the pros.

Bobby Knight

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

Bobby Knight

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

Bobby Knight

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

Bobby Knight

There are two real keys to winning. You've got to have good players: no coach won with bad players. You win with good players. That is number one. Number two is, when we are playing, let's say we are playing Michigan, and they had a really good press: we've got to solve that press.

Bobby Knight

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

Bobby Knight

From my mother to people that I've known in my lifetime, they've tried to settle me down a little bit. Now I'm trying to do the same thing to my man Trump.

Bobby Knight

And I would be the first to admit that probably, in a lot of press conferences over the time that I have been in coaching, indulging my own sense of humor at press conferences has not been greatly to my benefit.

Bobby Knight

I don't intend to retire.

Bobby Knight

I'm not sure what a conservative is. I don't know whether a conservative is a guy that goes to bed too early or maybe doesn't sleep long enough or just what the hell he might be. I don't know. Maybe he's a guy that - you know, he just wants to be real quiet.

Bobby Knight

When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!

Bobby Knight

You don't play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball.

Bobby Knight

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

Bobby Knight

Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.

Bobby Knight

If we want the best pitcher, let's get Bobby Feller. If want the best football player, let's get Jimmy Brown; the best basketball player, let's get Bill Russell. If we want the guy who can do the best job for the United States - let's get Donald Trump.

Bobby 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.

Bobby Knight

I'm not sure I've ever been around anybody that wanted to win more or worked harder than Michael Jordan.

Bobby Knight

Major League Baseball has the best idea of all. Three years before they'll take a kid out of college, then they have a minor league system that they put the kids in. I'm sure that if the NBA followed the same thing, there would be a lot of kids in a minor league system that still were not good enough to play in the major NBA.

Bobby Knight

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

Bobby Knight

A big part of teaching is being emphatic. Maybe I'm right or wrong, but part of my approach was that when I said something, the kids understood exactly what I meant and what I wanted.

Bobby Knight

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

Bobby Knight

We need a Donald Trump more than we've ever needed anybody since George Washington.

Bobby Knight

The will to succeed is important, but what's more important is the will to prepare.

Bobby Knight

All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things.

Bobby Knight

I'm tired of this party stuff, where we're going to do what's right for this party, or we're going to do what's right for that party. Let's just get together and do what's right for the country. I think that's what all of us want.

Bobby Knight

Everybody has an opportunity in America. I don't care if guys whine and complain about this or that. You know, no country affords its inhabitants the opportunities that the U.S.A. gives to its people.

Bobby Knight

I want to say to you Indiana people that I owe you a big, big debt of gratitude because nowhere in the world is a sporting group followed more than this state follows basketball. And I just want to thank you for the opportunity that I had to coach in this state - it will always be something that I will cherish.

Bobby Knight

I've always felt that, you know, the Almighty has a lot of things to do other than help my basketball team.

Bobby Knight

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

Bobby Knight

I don't think that political history is full of a whole lot of tremendously honest people. I have never found any fault about that as far as Mr. Trump is concerned in my relationship with him.

Bobby Knight

I'll tell you one thing about Donald Trump: There will never be a Benghazi in a Donald Trump administration.
