It starts with effort

"When you give good effort, all you need is a little better execution or a different philosophy in certain situations." (Charlotte coach Ron Sanchez in Lindy's)

The effort is on the team: the coach can lead them to water but he can't make them drink - up to a point. The execution is on the team: the coach can't do it on the bench - up to a point. The point is that the coach has to demand those things. "You give effort and you execute, or you don't play."

The philosophy is on the coach. The players cannot push the buttons. He sets the team's philosophy and recruits to that philosophy.

But it all starts with effort.
