(S38) PT 2 - Behavior Control

[Crunk]

The first thing that the Arizona Outlaws do to cut down on penalties and ill-discipline is to work on their team's intelligence. That seems to be the best way to cut down on silly penalties, so they do it by having a few groups of people work on intelligence building tasks. A few of the players play chess, one or two have been learning to write computer code. There's also a remedial group where Spottie O'Dopaliscious sits and tries to put blocks into the correct shaped holes. He's nearly mastered the triangle.

Aside from that, the Outlaws have a team culture that fosters accountability, and if you aren't holding yourself accountable, your teammates will damn sure do it for you. Jay Cue Jr had a period after his third MVP where he was getting sloppy in practice, so the O-Lineman picked him up, turned him upside down and flushed his head down the toilet. This not only made Cue concentrate on his game more, but it was great for team morale.
