The first four seconds set the price of a possession

Stop taking charges in the open floor

Cross matching in transition is fine and coaches should stop apologising

A transition foul should cost more than it does

The sideline is your fifth defender on a break

Draft models cannot see who runs back

Defences break in the third quarter, not the fourth

Full court pressure is coming back and the arithmetic is behind it

Fast break points is a junk statistic

Your best shooter should never be the safety

Block totals cannot tell you who defends the break

Getting back starts before the shot goes up

The first big back decides the break, not the fastest guard

Points off live ball turnovers is the only turnover number worth reading

A rushed jumper is a defensive statistic

Transition defence is a rebounding trade wearing a disguise
