Dick DeVenzio gave his life to sports and to the intelligent pursuit of excellence. Although Dick was only 5 9", he averaged 30 ppg. at Pennsylvanias Ambridge High School and led his team to an undefeated state championship. Dick earned first-team Academic All-American honors at Duke University, and later founded the nationally acclaimed Point Guard College (www.pointguardcollege.com). Dicks books - including Theres Only One Way to Win: Modern Success Principles (and the colorful style) of an Old-Fashioned Coach, a tribute to Coach DV, Dicks father and high school coach - have inspired countless coaches and athletes. Dick DeVenzio died in 2001 at age 52. Basketball coaches are typically fond of talking about all the things they do to get an advantage over other teams. Coach DV stayed out of these conversations. They irritated him. "Coaches dont do anything, he would say. Players do. If you have good players, everything works; if you dont have good players, nothing works. Theres no secret: you get good players and just play BAS-ketball."; His teaching consisted of four simple rules: Rule #1. Always "MOOOOOVE!" Rule #2. Always Throw the Ball to Your Own Team. Rule #3. Take Only Very Easy Shots. Rule #4. Never Give the Other Team an Easy Shot."
