Red Holzman practiced what he preached — teamwork, trust, the accumulation of details and resourcefulness in the clutch.
Holzman's Knicks played ferocious defense, frequently played topsy-turvy basketball (posting the guards, Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe, while Dave DeBusschere and Jerry Lucas fired away from the next time zone), led the league in three-quarter-court presses and pioneered the utilization of a pressing-trapping second unit.
During timeouts, Holzman routinely asked his players what was going on out there and what plays they thought would be appropriate.
