Absolutes in Coaching By Coach Jack Ramsey
- Basketball,
like every other sport, is predicated on the execution of the
fundamentals.
- The coach is a
teacher; his subject is the FUNDAMENTALS.
- The highest
level of achievement is attained by the teams with the best-conditioned
players.
- Even the
greatest players have a level of improvement to achieve.
- Even the
greatest players accept coaching and value the need for discipline and the
order it brings to the team.
- Winning is
more related to good defense than good offense.
- Breakdown
drills, under simulated game conditions, are essential to team success.
- Teams that
play together beat those with superior players who play more as
individuals.
- There are no
physical limits to individual achievement.
- Although the
game has become more sophisticated, simpler is better in developing and
teaching a system of play.
- Players draw
confidence from a poised, alert coach who anticipates changing in game
conditions.
- Teams that
never concede defeat can accomplish incredible victories.
