breaking the rules



malcom gladwell
is one of my favorite writers. he has a gift for finding truly interesting people and telling their story.
his latest story - about breaking the rules - is fascinating. it's about a guy who was coaching teen age girls basketball, and about how he was able to step outside the conventional basketball wisdom and develop a championship team. and the result was that he got the opposing coaches so enraged - even though he was playing within the "rules" - that they effectively banished his team from the competition.
so anyway, this is a story about thinking outside the box. about stepping aside from the conventional wisdom and intuiting a creative solution.
