Hmm, I vaguely recall Coach Martin REPEATEDLY telling his players if they play solid D, then the buckets would follow.
"'This,' said Martin, 'has to become who we are on a daily basis — being aggressive, scoring the basketball, attacking the rim.'"
I'm glad he finally recognizes his initial philosophy is a little ridiculous. We proved solid D only produces opportunities, and if you don't emphasize an offense to accompany an amazing defense you will not score that much.
