Tommy Heinsohn On WEEI

[wayray@ix.netcom.com (Way Of The Ray)]

Tommy Heinsohn was on the A Team on WEEI last Thursday or Friday, and here are 
a couple of his comments:

- There are no more artisans left in the game.

- The key guy in the NBA today are the coaches, since they're dealing with less 
than a finished product (players coming in the league too early).

- Owners have diluted the talent by over-expanding.

- He hates Dennis Rodman, and wouldn't have him on his team; neither would Red.

- Players have lost touch with reality.

- Bob Cousy founded the Players Association and Tommy ran it for eight years, 
choosing Mark Fleisher to secede him.  Fleisher "knew when to hold and when to 
fold."

- Decertification would be the most foolish thing anyone would think of doing.

- He thought without the lockout, Paul Pierce would be starting right now.
