Playing time is earned based on how hard a player works in practice, their communication and attitude, and how they help the team win by executing the offensive and defensive systems and accepting their role. Players are expected to always play hard by hustling on and off the floor, competing during games and practice, and fighting through adversity with toughness. They must also always play smart by accepting coaching, avoiding turnovers, knowing their role, and improving individually. Most importantly, players must always play together by making others better, sharing the ball, being positive and encouraging teammates, and helping each other.
