DR. JACK RAMSAY ON THE IMPORTANCE OF DEFENSE

"A team's defense is the foremost part of its overall game plan.  Defense dictates tempo, it establishes the flow of a game.  Defense triggers the offense.  Victory is always within the reach of a strong defensive team.  Good defense enables a team to overcome an occasional poor shooting night.  A strong defensive team can come from behind to win.  A team's personality is established through its defense.  Defense, in a word, is dominant."
