A high school basketball Coach, likes to put his players in competition with each other, just to get them to play harder. After the last game, the Coach was agitated by the lack of rebounds his team accumulated. At the following practice, the Coach interrupted a drill to castigate his players for their lack of rebounding. Coach began to let all the players know how many rebounds each one of the players had. In a loud agitated, angry pitch the coach said, "ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? SOME OF OUR PLAYERS ONLY GOT 4 REBOUNDS FOR THE WHOLE GAME! OUR POINT GUARD HAD 10 REBOUNDS! OUR POINT GUARD HAD MORE REBOUNDS THAN ANYONE ELSE ON THE TEAM! HOW DOES OUR POINT GUARD HAVE MORE REBOUNDS THAN THE TEAM?!
A Player slowly put his hand up to answer the question. The Coach shouted, "YES!" The player responded, "Coach. Those weren't the point guards rebounds. Those were OUR rebounds." The Coach , realizing what his player was trying to say responded, "Your right. Now lets get back to the drill."
"Once we have the teamwork we can make the dream work."
