Jay Bilas on Communication

"When communication is built on trust, true toughness can emerge"

"Being a good team defender was not about keeping my assignment from scoring, but making certain that our team kept their team from scoring." 

"To be an effective communicator, a great teammate and tough player has to talk, but also has to be able to listen."

"On defense, a true team player, a tough player, needs to be responsible for his specific role and assignment, but accountable to the mission, which is to stop the opponent from scoring on the defensive end."
