I liked this article a lot. Of course, I am not happy about the way the team's fortunes have gone this season, but I like the fact that people connected with the team have taken responsibility for the team's poor performance relative to the pre-season expectations.

 

There is too little willingness to take responsibilty in the whole world, not just on the basketball court.

 

The focus of this article is on Jamar's poor leadership and on his poor decisions in close games. Jamar takes responsibility.

 

I think you can also infer from the article that Coach Brown also takes some responsibility for the lineup he has had in the game at several points. And he is willing to adjust his lineup to reflect the need for change.

 

Taking responsibility in situations where things are not going right is the first step toward making real progress. The second step is to implement the necessary changes. Sometimes the first step is more difficult than the other change.

 

I wish the Dane team well with the changes that will be occurring. Hopefully, the recognition that success will not be automatic when the team steps onto the floor will bear fruit really soon. This situation may make the team ultimately more successful at the end of the season.
