Basketball may have been invented in Massachusetts, but it was made for Indiana Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Superiority and success doesn’t favor good effort or self-esteem... The mentally precise and physically fit win, while the mediocre and obtuse take solace in hopeful cliches Picture Quote #1

I think that we as a people are always prone to think about, well, tomorrow will be a better day. Well, why will it be a better day? And I think the more that we believe in doing things better, doing the right thing rather than hoping that that’s going to happen, let’s make it happen Picture Quote #1

Players must be able to carry out simple instructions from the bench to the court. If they can’t, then they can’t play Picture Quote #1

People want national championship banners. People want to talk about Indiana being competitive. How do we get there? We don’t get there with milk and cookies Picture Quote #1

You don’t play against opponents, you play against the game of basketball Picture Quote #1

If I were involved with the NBA, I wouldn’t want a 19-year-old or a 20-year-old kid to bring into all the travel and all the problems that exist in the NBA. I would want a much more mature kid. I would want a kid that maybe I’ve been watching on another team, and now he’s 21, 22 years old instead of 18 or 19, and I might trade for that kid Picture Quote #1

I think that it’s perhaps harder to learn from victory than it is from defeat. I think that we don’t want defeat. We don’t want defeat in sport. We don’t want defeat in life. How are we going to be beaten? All right. We have to deal with those things. What’s going to cause us to lose the game, whatever the game might be? Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My overall point is that ‘one and dones’ are not healthy for college basketball. I should not have made it personal to Kentucky and its players and I apologize Picture Quote #1

Good basketball always starts with good defense! Picture Quote #1

You play ball against yourself; your opponent is your potential Picture Quote #1

I would rather be thought of as a teacher than a coach Picture Quote #1

Victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes Picture Quote #1
