Players draw confidence from a poised, alert coach who anticipates changing in game conditions

The highest level of achievement is attained by the teams with the best conditioned players

Basketball, like all sports, is predicated on the execution of fundamentals. The coach is a teacher. His subject: fundamentals

Winning is more related to good defense than good offense

Even the greatest players accept coaching and value the need for discipline and the order that it brings to the team

Teams that play together beat those with superior players who play more as individuals.

A star can win any game; a team can win every game.
