The players already know all of this.

BB has a lot of draft picks and free agents that flop. What did he get out of Haynesworth and Ocho?
BB wins because he is smarter than other coaches not because he benches players more often or yells louder. Players have more confidence playing under BB because BB is smarter, not because he "pushes their buttons" better.
The only way to get players to "believe they can win" is to win. It is that simple. Every coach on the planet tells his players they can win, but it is meaningless if they don't win.
