Hoops Notes From Toughness Book

- From Doug Collins: getting 70% of 50/50 (up for grabs) balls is a measure of a team's overall toughness.
- Bob Knight "change" drill. When change is yelled, offensive player puts ball down and possession changes. The new defensive player may not guard the man who was previously guarding him.
- "No dribble" incorporated into every practice.
- Defense with hands behind backs. "Defense is not a game of hands; it is a game of feet. Your feet have to dominate on defense. Your hands put the other team on the free-throw line. That's why the feet, the development of the feet was so important to me. I wanted to take the hands out of it. It was tougher to play with your feet."
