Points aren't the answer to whether a team's successful or not

Had a post earlier this week about the importance of commitment.

But as longtime Maryland coach Gary Williams points out in this article from the Washington Post today, for a team, there has to be a consistent level of commitment across the board:

"To be a good team... it's just a matter of if everybody makes the same commitment; there's always going to be one guy that's better than the others. But the team's got to get over that. You're doing everything you can to help us win. In other words, for us to win, that guy's got to get those points. Everybody's got to have their role and accept the fact that points aren't the answer to whether a team's successful or not."
