About 95% of my defensive philosophy comes from Coach Bennett. I believe Coach Bennett ranks as the top defensive coach of all time. Here are his five biblical principles.
1. HUMILITY
Know and be who you are, not what others think you are.
Know the shots you can make and shots you can take.
Know the ability you really have.
Don't let the pressures of the game take you out of your idenity.
2. PASSION
Don't be lukewarm.
Don't try to be cool.
Die Hard...Take losses hard.
It's about concentration.
Lack of passion will keep you from being great.
3. UNITY
Tough team. Team tough.
Unity is the only way you can touch greatness.
The way normal people become great is through unity.
4. SERVANT ATTITUDE
Serve one another.
It is the basis of everything we do.
Go out of your way - on and off the court - to make your teammates better.
Get every charge, every loose ball, every rebound, every save.
Help the helper on defense.
Help get each other open.
Hit the open man on offense.
5. THANKFULNESS
Acknowledge any help from a teammate.
If you can be thankful in all circumstances, it can bring great wisdom.
Take something positive from every situation.
