"The ball has to move. You cannot let one player hold it and call it an offense. Every great team creates motion, and motion creates advantages.
Gregg Popovich
Head Coach · San Antonio Spurs
"Pick-and-roll defense is built entirely on communication. If two defenders are not talking before, during, and after the screen, you have already surrendered the advantage.
Brad Stevens
Head Coach · Boston Celtics

Head Coach · Los Angeles Clippers
