I want a persistent player, not the consistent player. I want a team that is persistent, unyielding, enduring, staying with something despite obstacles.          —Bob Knight

At this year’s event, Robroy Industries is proud to welcome, as our special guest, a man who became an American icon by demanding and achieving excellence—-Bob Knight.

Bob Knight is a legendary coach because he has consistently developed winners on the basketball court. He has accomplished this feat by insisting on the mastery of fundamentals, on unselfish team play, on attention to detail, on a hard work ethic, and on the principle of never making excuses. Of even greater importance, Coach Knight has devoted his remarkable career to training young athletes not only in the skills of the game but also in the skills of succeeding at life.

The world is full of “ordinary heroes” achieving “extraordinary” results because they are committed to performing their jobs in the best possible way.
