Factors that affect team unity include how experienced your players are and how much time they spend in the floor together.

ACTOR AND SINGER Haim Topol has played Tevye the Dairyman more than 2,000 times in different productions of Fiddler on the Roof. The Tel Aviv-born actor portrayed the character more than 400 times on the London stage alone before starring in the 1971 Hollywood version of the musical, receiving an Oscar nomination the following year. After traveling to Australia 35 years ago to promote the movie, Topol returned Down Under a year ago to play Tevye in a two-month theatrical run of Fiddler in Sydney. As Army coach Bobby Ross walked away from Lincoln Financial Field, just before he got to the tunnel, a man in the front row holding one end of an American flag yelled out, "Good job, Bobby Ross! Next year!" A few minutes later, Navy coach Paul Johnson, in a room underneath the stands, said: "Honestly, I'm a little frustrated at how we played." The most noteworthy aspect of the 107th Army-Navy game may have been that it was a game. Yesterday, after Navy took away a 26-14 victory, its fifth straight over Army, in front of 69,943, nobody disputed that the better team had won again. This time, however, Navy (9-3) didn't just roll over the Cadets (3-9). The Midshipmen scored more points mostly because they made fewer mistakes. Army got a touchdown on its first possession, was still tied with Navy at halftime, and was within a touchdown early in the fourth quarter, when the Midshipmen grabbed the first of two game-clinching interceptions. |
