Foundation
The Four Binaries
Clear decision frames used by the program every day.
Cause ↔ Effect
−Players are taught to stop reacting to outcomes and start identifying what caused them.
- ›Why did we give up the run?
- ›What action created the open shot?
- ›What habit produced this turnover?
Black ↔ White
+Standards must be clear. Either we communicated or we did not. Either we executed or we did not.
Forward ↔ Backward
+Every action moves the player, possession, team, or program forward or backward.
Progressive ↔ Regressive
+Every decision is evaluated by whether it moves us closer to the goal or farther away.
