“Know Your No’s” — non-negotiables

There must be Consequences if the Ball gets to Paint:
1) Take the Charge Foul - Take the Hit and protect the Basket
2) Block the Shot - Best shot block opportunities come from Help
3) Get a Deflection - Help the Helper - Force the Next Pass
4) Hard Foul, we do not want to foul but we are not giving up lay-ups
