A Quote by Bobby Knight

Good basketball always starts with good defense! — © Bobby Knight
Good basketball always starts with good defense!
That's where your defense starts. If you are not good in transition, you probably aren't going to be good. Or you'll be taking it out of the net and playing a lot of offense.
I think I started learning lessons about being a good person long before I ever knew what basketball was. And that starts in the home, it starts with the parental influence.
Defense wins championships. A good offense is beat by a good defense, always.
I wasn't a bad basketball player, but I was far from the world's greatest. Good defense, no offense - that was me.
Some days I'll have good starts, and some days I'll have bad starts. I'm really focusing on having more good starts than bad starts, and I traditionally do. But I would hate to make it all the way to the Olympics and have a bad starting day.
I love basketball, but playing basketball doesn't fully define who I am. I was always a good student, too.
To me, a good running back is a good defense. A good running back helps you keep your defense off the field.
Always care for the writing part first. Every good film project starts with good writing. If you have a good script, everything else follows. Writing is crucial.
I always tell the kids, basketball is not going to be there forever, get a good education and make good choices.
I don't really differentiate from big-time college basketball to any other kind of basketball. It's basketball. It's fundamentals and defense and shooting - they're all the same.
It is not overwhelmingly difficult for a committed group of players with only average individual basketball skills to put together a very good team defense.
'Analyze This' is a good movie because Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal are really good. But without the material to put on the play, of course, they couldn't be good. For me, it starts with the writing. I always think that the writer is doing the vast majority of the director's work, in a sense.
I think there's a lot of different things that factor into playing good defense, and you just can't say, "All right, if we just hold on to the ball long enough, we're going to play good defense."
I always say that I think my job is behind home plate, call a good game, play some good defense, and also, I know I was not a power hitter.
If you like basketball, you enjoy watching good basketball. And if you don't like watching good basketball, go watch rowing.
I believe the war on terror is the vital discussion of this decade and of our generation, probably. To win the war on terror, you need a good offense and a good defense. On defense, I regret to say, basically, this administration has not come close to doing what is necessary.
