Coaching axiom suggested by 17-, 27- and 49-Across

THERESNOIINTEAM

Think of the phrase often used to emphasize unity over individual glory, where the letters spell out a playful denial of selfishness.

This clue plays on the famous sports phrase "There's no I in team," which emphasizes teamwork over individualism. The numbers 17-, 27-, and 49-Across hint that those answers contain the letters "I" (the Roman numeral for 1), reinforcing the idea that selfishness (the "I") doesn’t belong in a team. The answer is written as one continuous word, "THERESNOIINTEAM," to fit the crossword grid while keeping the saying intact. It’s a clever way to turn a motivational slogan into a puzzle solution.
