Jack Ramsay turned Donovan's raw material into a contender. The offensive firepower of the Braves persuaded Ramsay to set aside any notions of turning his team into a top defensive club. "I've had to alter my theories on defense," he says. "To be defensive, you need a physically tough center and toughness at other positions. We can't be tough with DiGregorio at guard and McAdoo at center. Instead, we outrun and outshoot our opponents." When that is not working, Ramsay outyells them. He is the champion head rubber and tantrum thrower in the N.B.A...

...this vein, Sanders has obviously preferred to concentrate on getting the right five to worrying about the next team on the schedule. Smooth the rough edges rather than radically alter the game plan. But such a tactic assumes a certain amount of arrogance, even if it seems perhaps a natural law to a former Celtic. For if you don't adjust, you have to make 'em play your brand of basketball. And if there is one thing Harvard has not been able to do for 40 minutes to date, it is make their opponents play their brand, Cambridge variety...
