Which Way is the Game Being Called?

Some games you can hack and bump with no fouls. Others get ticky-tacky and call every touch. Still others are inconsistent and make calls to stop and start runs and momentum swings to make it feel balanced.

The point is that it doesn’t matter how the game is called. Greatness can adapt and win under any conditions. What matters is knowing how the game will be called so you can exploit it.

The longer you complain about how it should be called, the less time you have to get an edge by playing to the way it is being called. 

Someone who can only succeed with a certain type of calls isn’t great. Someone who plays the same no matter what isn’t great either.  Greatness requires adjusting the game you practiced in the gym to the one being called under the lights.
