For the most part, defense and rebounding aren’t “taught”. They are mostly desire and grit. Sure, there are different defensive strategies such as man defense, zone, etc but all are predicated on effort...the same with rebounding. “Want to” isn’t necessarily taught either but it can be ingrained...if you know what I mean. Another lost aspect is the mental planning for each game. Also, the term “you’re only as strong as your weakest link” applies to the coaching staff as well as the team.
