Lessons from My Notebook
                          team fast break: Go. Go. Go!!!” (number 4); and “really strive for  247
                          team play” (number 12).
                             These elements had already been deeply ingrained in our team’s
                          play and practice. I mention them to demonstrate my intense de-
                          sire and intention to target areas for improvement even when the
                          level of execution was already quite high.
                             Accepting the status quo means a leader feels no further im-
                          provement can be made. I never reached a point in 40 years of
                          teaching basketball where I felt no further improvement could be
                          made. And that applied to every area of the game, including my
                          own leadership skills.
