Message: [QUOTE="Bone Dog, post: 5295277, member: 12088"] It’s not just about offense. It’s also about playing sophisticated defense, and SC absolutely had one of the best defenses over more than a decade. Geno has said on more than one occasion that he looks for kids who are willing to play team defense. This is an indicator for him of their willingness to sacrifice personal glory for team success. These are also the kinds of kids who will make a long term commitment. There’s a famous interview where Geno says something like, “It’s easy to find kids who can score. The hard part is finding kids who’ll commit to team defense.” Dawn didn’t bring SC as far as she did without getting the same sort of commitment from kids. You don’t tend to find those kids in the portal very often. Dorka was an exception. So was Evina. [/QUOTE]
