WHEN COACHES AND PLAYERS CLASH

"Coaches and players usually don't like each other.  Players don't like coaches telling them what to do.  Coaches don't like players telling them what they're not going to do and that's just the nature of the business.  If we couldn't play, we wouldn't be here.  If they couldn't coach, they wouldn't be here.”
-          Ben Wallace, Detroit Pistons

(Thanks Vince Ellis, Detroit Free Press)

“We should focus on going to battle against our opponent… not each other.”  Although that statement sounds like common sense and something every team would understand, every day there are coaches and players battling each other… and it is so counterproductive to the success of a team.  Don't believe me?  Just ask the sputtering Pistons with their pathetic 19-33 record.
