The following comes from Bob Knight's "The Power Of Negative Thinking".
Basketball - like life - is at least partly a game of mistakes. Despite thousands of years of evolutionary improvements, human beings do not play any game perfectly. As a coach, you have to understand, its not the development of your offense or the development of your defense that will make you a consistently winning team; it’s the elimination of mistakes its getting rid of those things that amount to a deal-breaker in the game of basketball:
- Poor ball handling
- Bad shots
- Slow recovery from offense to defense
- Bad fouls and poor foul-shooting
- Poor blocking out of opponents in rebounding
- Go-it-alone, uncoordinated defense
