George Brown commented on Prioritizing Potential Over Winning - They Are Not The Same:

“Excellent points. I coach off-season basketball and I emphasize this philosophy all the time. Yes, the easy thing to do would be to put the players in the game to help us win, but that isn't how you develop the team and help each member get better so that during their regular school season they can push each other and be able to rely on each other. If each player is given a chance to be in the game near the end of a close one, they will learn from either situation; a win or a loss. They will know they can perform in a tight situation or they will learn what they need to do to prepare themselves for the next time they are in this situation. During practice there is always time installed for some type of fundamental work. This keeps the mind and body on task with remembering how this is done. If you don't the body and mind will go back to doing things the old way and this way was probably not the correct way. Stay the course!”
