Defense: A good time to double the post is when the offense puts 'it' on the floor

Discipline vs Punishment. Understand the difference

"When your teammate looks you in the eye and holds you accountable, that’s the greatest kind of leadership there is" - Doug Collins

Let's gooooo Nate!

When coachable players are held accountable, they understand it's for the good of the team and seek to learn from the situation. Uncoachable players think they're being picked on and play the blame game when held accountable.

Accountability without connection is punishment. Connection without accountability is weakness. Leadership is both.
