Last year, San Diego State head coach Steve Fisher made it a point for his staff to link defensive effort to playing time.
"The nice thing about our team is that if a person doesn't compete hard, we've got somebody else that we can put in. I don't want anybody playing out of fear or afraid to make a mistake, but I want them on edge to the point if where they don't play hard, there's going to be a reason they'll be playing fewer minutes."
