    • But is this team about outscoring, out-defending, or out-hustling their opponents?  So far, the plan appears to be all three.

    Coaching influences on this team

    The two coaches who have had the most significant influence on head coach Brett Brown have been San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich.  The other is the former assistant head coach Mike D’Antoni.  Both coaches lead very successful NBA franchises.

    One coach manufactures defense for his team, and has an uncanny ability to maximize each player on the roster.

    The other coach manufactures offense for his team, and has an uncanny ability of expanding team roles for players to add to their impact in the lineup.

    Head coach Brett Brown stands at the intersection of both philosophies .
