"but at times, his (and the entire team’s) aversion to fouling went too far, not physically challenging opponents enough."

YES!!! this was a major issue last season. Guys afraid to play defense for fear of geeting a foul. If your want better defense coaches have to find a better balance between yanking a player for committing a foul and letting a player give a foul or two.

Coaches need to factor fouling into their strategy. Trying to play a no fouling game is terrible. You'll have players looking to the bench all the time. Avoiding contact to trying to stay in a game. That's Olé defense. Players have to have confidence that one mistake won't send them to the bench. Saw that a lot last year. You cannot play with pace and simultaneously dictate the game from the sideline. There has to be a balance between letting them play with confidence and running the offense and defensive strategy.

Consider the only no foul basketball games are allstar games where no defense is played.
"...no excuses - only results!”
