“Offense at Indiana is not equal opportunity. Those players who shoot best are going to shoot most. It is important that every player know his offensive limitations. It is also important that a player know who the best shooter is on the team. When a passer has the option of passing to two players, I expect him to get the ball to the best shooter. I continually stop practice and ask players who the best shooter is and I expect them to know. It is important that you get the ball to your best shooter.” KnowsTwoImportantAsksOpportunityPracticePlayerTeamEqualBasketballBallsPassingPassingsLimitationCoachingOffensiveOffenseBasketball CoachingIndianaEqual OpportunityShooter Author:Bobby Knight

“I think that to stop an offense, you must go to the heart of that offense.
