16-AA District Basketball Coach Smith relaxes before a game. The Starting F ive The players who make the Varsity are the best players on the team. This best greatly is based on attitude, hustle, ability, knowledge of the game, and the desire to win. A player must exhibit all of these qualities, and he must have the correct mental approach to the game and strive through practice to improve his me- chanics and knowledge of the game. The wil- lingness to work hard, hustle all of the time, and desire to always win is something that a player must develop. Some have this greatly: others do not.. The winners do. The ones on the squad who excel in these qualities more than the others are the iive who play and give every ounce of effort they can muster because they love the game and they have instilled in them that certain pride which takes over when they become tired and pushes them' on and tells them, You don't quit or let up - you 're a winner.
