There must be a defensive mandate

If a team of players who grew up watching spectacular offense on Sports Center is going to play defense, the coach is going to have to remove any other options, right up front, in no uncertain terms. "If you play here, you play defense. If you don't play defense, you don't play here." That includes the guy who scores 20 points a game. That is the only way it is going to happen in the world we have today. Then you foster a culture of pride in defense, and hopefully even the fan base buys into it.
