In the U.S. system, too often the best player on an under-17 team will be treated like a ‘star’ – not having to work for the ball, being the focus of the offense at all times, etc. – at a time when they should be having to fight tooth and nail for their spot.
I think whether home or away, it’s playing a full four quarters, doing good things on offense all the way through the game rather than just in spurts.

I would say that while most Muslims take offense at the portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad in cartoons, they would never resort to violence. It is a minority of extremist Muslims who take such actions, and they do it for political and tactical reasons far beyond just being offended.
I want to make sure the other point guard can’t start his offense until 12 or 13 seconds. Then I’ve put my team in position to defend just one pick-and-roll and one pass.

My mentality when guarding a point guard was always to try and disrupt him and take them out of the offense.
