"A mature team is willing to make the sacrifices it takes to win. It's willing to play a certain way. Unselfishness, diving after loose balls, taking charges, getting defensive stops at critical points in a game. The inexperienced teams are the ones that live and die by the jump shot. They tend to place way too much emphasis on the offensive end and not nearly enough on the tough things that it takes to win games"
