- Five guys (or girls). Not the burger joint, defense. Together.
- You. Great team defense starts by winning individual battles.
- The ball scores. Gotta see it and stop it.
- Know your nos. No easy baskets.
- No penetration.
- No paint.
- No second shots.
- No uncontested shots. (Challenge without fouling)
- No stupid fouls.
- Communicate at all times.
- Stops make runs.
- Great defenders earn minutes. Recognize and value them.
