Teaching young men to work hard and be successful, the goodies will follow. Another enrollment gem: "Beginning in the mid-2000s, LaFleur said Calhoun and his coaching staff studied data from the NBA to draw connections between the contracts players received and the habits or stats they demonstrated to earn those kinds of deals. The end result was an equation of sorts that linked things like rebounding, blocked shots and effort plays — which included an ability and willingness to set effective screens — with specific dollar amounts players could expect to earn. Calhoun wanted his power forwards and centers to know that eschewing scoring for the good of the team wouldn't compromise their earning power." Big ups to Micheal Coen. Dude can write. [/QUOTE]
