(Sorry if the RSS feed picks this up, but I wasn't sure if it'd do it this late at night)

Great article. Send it to Larry.
Al used to brag that his teams were the most disciplined teams on the court in the country. His players seldom did something other than what was asked from them. If they did they often found bench time. Buzz's teams also play within the system and guys know their roles.
Best article I have read on Paint Touches!

As a footnote, Coach McGuire in his famous press conference soliloquy said what most people (read press) didn't understand was that his Marquette teams were the "most disciplined on the planet."
Absolutely loved it. Was awesome that you finally were able to put your finger on what makes this team special. Especially when everyone has to play a specific role, everyone buying in is probably the most important thing for success

Careful, you are speaking in cliches according to some on here.

Thanks again, Strotty.
