Pitino and Cousy

[Alex Wang <awang@mit.edu>]

I agree with those people who question this "Pitino vs. Cousy" angle. My
impression is that both Tommy and Cousy have a lot of respect for Pitino.
Cousy seems to mainly complain when the point guard makes a poor decision,
which is definitely understandable.

Late last season when both Walker and Mercer were out, Pierce was carrying 
the team and scoring a lot of points. Tommy was talking about how scoring
thirty points might be a big deal for Pierce and give him a lot of 
confidence. I think he asked Cousy how he felt when he first scored thirty
and he said something like, "It felt good. I thought, why am I passing to
these bozos?" It was really funny coming from him.
