Coaching by Porter & Smith

The book by Porter and Smith as good "System" stuff but also just good coaching advice. They talk about three concepts of successful coaches & teams.

1- Offense and defense complement each other. The goals of your offense and the goals of your defense need to be aligned with each other.

2- Simplicity is a value. It is like the old Green Bay Packer philosophy that you are going to out execute, not trick your opponent. With the System the argument is that you want to take thinking out of the equation as it will slow things down.

3- Play at a tempo that the opponents are not used to playing. If you are used to playing hard in practice, it will be a habit that carries over to games.
