Williams Goes Beyond the Clipboard in Teaching Lessons in Suns Locker Room

Hammers, buckets and earplugs. Suns Head Coach Monty Williams is bringing his metaphors to life in the Suns locker room and the players are listening and buying into his methods.

From his “Whole Team Up” approach to his “0.5” system, Williams has had the team reiterating his philosophies since training camp, but has now taken it a step further. Objects such as hammers, buckets and earplugs may normally suggest some sort of construction job, but the team is going to leave the renovations of Talking Stick Resort Arena to the professionals.

Instead, Williams has presented his team physical items to further his teachings and help his players remember his lessons going further.
