Re: First Ex. Game Thoughts

Trust in Maxwell, I say. Heinsohn also harps on the same point, but he focuses
on making Antoine the go-to lowpost man and that's a mixed blessing. Why a
Battie and Moiso couldn't practice and execute a 12-foot Robert Parish baseline
turnaround is beyond me. It doesn't even require establishing position in the
paint.

"chuck & duck" is a football term, but I don't know exactly where it comes
from. I think it was the old 1985 Bears defensive coordinator who coined in,
the same guy who punched his team's offensive coordinator in the face on the
sidelines following an interception. I forget his name.
