Coaches who will not coach defense

Just recruit a bunch of high-powered talent, let them run up and down the court and jack up a bunch of 3-pointers. Score lots of points. Draw big crowds because your team is "entertaining and exciting." Get lots of plugs from the media. But is that really coaching? You do not have to teach a great deal because all you are doing is letting the kids do what they would do on a playground if they had no coach.

Coaches who will not coach defense do not have to do much coaching.
