I didn't know exactly where to post this because it pertains to all sports but I wanted to make a case that defense reigns supreme in all sports. If you can play good defense in just about any sport then you have a chance to win with an average or better offense.

Basketball - strong rebounding and good defensive pressure provides a lot of offensive opportunities because of turnovers and transtion baskets.

Baseball - Pitching and Defense keeps scoring to a minimum and therefore requires less offense to win.

Football - Same premise. Good defense creates field position and turnovers and makes it easier for the offense.

Hockey - Good goal tending and Good defensive hockey creates the same kinds of problems as basketball.

My point in all this is that if you start by building with defense then you have a chance to win a liitle faster than if you try to build first with offense.

I definitely agree with that. Defense is the quickest way to turn a team around and give it a chance. You do need an offense in team sports, but, if you have an excellent defense with an average or above average offense, you can usually win most of your games.
