WHY WE WIN (#1)

In 1998 Billy Packer (along with Roland Lazenby) wrote a book titles "Why We Win." It was a brilliant concept in which Packer came up with a series of questions to ask some of the top coaches in all sports to get their thoughts and views.

Putting together a team, what's the first thing you're looking for?

Red Auerbach: "The ball. You can't win without the ball. Therefore your first ingredient is to get somebody who can get you the ball...meaning a rebounder."

Pat Summitt: "I want my go-to-player in the paint and I want that point guard that can be the quarterback of our basketball team."
