Message: [QUOTE="BBallF, post: 4812671, member: 10435"] " Defense is the key to winning in any sport and that's what I believe in". The same coach who said that in 1971 also was a coach at a basketball camp I attended in the late 1960s. He said at the camp that defense is a matter of desire and focus and that you don't need a special skill to play it. Our defense against UCLA and Texas was abysmal to begin the games. All types of switching issues, losing your man, not boxing out, etc. Too large a deficit for an offensively challenged team to overcome. We can be competitive with almost anyone if our defense is rock solid. If not, we will lose games in the Big East too. [/QUOTE]
