Rebound Rules The Art of Success 2.0 11-30-08

One year, on fat tuesday, when Rick Pitino was coaching the University of Kentucky they played a game at Louisiana State University. During this game Kentucky found themselves down by more than 30 points at the half. That year LSU had an incredible amount of athletes. They had based their team off of players for years. During years when they had good players they won, but in years when they did not have the players they did not. Kentucky differed from LSU in the aspect that their team was based off of a program and no matter who were the current players they were still "Kentucky". Because of this system Kentucky eventually came back and won the game in regulation. Pitino used the example of this game to show how people should live their lives. If people have a good set of morals to live by they always out succeed, in the long run, those who live in the moment.

What a great book choice!

What compromises have you noticed the coach having to make or places where he's not meeting his own expectations? What is your impression of how he handles that?
