I have always stressed a "defense first" mindset to my teams and we have been extremely successful (5 titles in 6 years) as a result of that commitment to defense.
I came across a couple of interesting stats this afternoon that reinforces the "defense first" mindset...
In the last 10 years in the NBA: Only 1 team did not make the playoffs that were ranked in the Top 5 % total defense.
13 of last 20 NBA Champions were ranked in the Top 5 FG % Defense
8 of last 9 champions were ranked in the Top 10 both offense FG% and defensive FG%
(Thanks Coach Cooley)
