"I think Mike has a philosophy, it's worked for him in the past. It's worked for him in Atlanta. The big thing is you've got to have players buy into it," Jackson said. "They have to believe in it. I think one of the reasons why they've been successful in the last month and a half, whatever this run has been, has been their defense has improved. Mike likes to switch with bigs a lot of times and ends up rotating from the other side of the court, trying to get bigs on bigs, and smalls on smalls. You know, that's his style. Players have to buy into it. That's what coaching is about."
