explained it as
“… we forced him left and doubled him. If he was on the left wing, we
went immediately to a double team from the top. If he was on the right
wing, we went to a slow double team. He could hurt you equally from
either wing—hell, he could hurt you from the hot-dog stand—but we just
wanted to vary the look. And if he was on the box, we doubled with a big
guy.
… any time he went by you, you had to nail him. If he was coming off a
screen, nail him. We didn't want to be dirty—I know some people thought
we were—but we had to make contact and be very physical.”
