THIS IS WHAT OUR YOUNG TEAM NEEDS!!!

["Jaims" <jaims@impactnet.com>]

Bird is a very effective, very unobtrusive leader.
The player who used to be involved in every play has become a coach who
is hardly involved in any of them. Player Bird was a maximalist; Coach
Bird is a minimalist. His predecessor as Pacers coach, Larry Brown,
hectored and nit-picked in practices and games. Bird is quiet, has short
meetings, and never chews out his players publicly. He doesn't criticize
them when they make turnovers or commit fouls, and he doesn't tell them
how to play. He treats them as professionals, just as he liked his
coaches to treat him.

These characteristics are opposite Pitino's!!!

If only we could really kick Gaston and Pitino out....
