you are not going to be teaching him new tricks.
and as much as I appreciate good defense, sometimes being so singularly focused gets frustrating. I forget which loss it was, but he was asked in his post-game presser what went wrong and his answer was both predictable and obtuse: "we didn't play good enough defense"...uh no, you actually played adequate defense, the glaring problem was the complete sh!t show of an offense.
the other problem I have with a heavily defensive approach is that you put yourself at the whim of the refs when it comes to foul trouble. A guy could just be out there playing good, tough D, next thing you know he gets blown for 2 quick fouls, and if he's a core scorer, well, good luck with that for the rest of the game.
