Re: WHat was Jimmy doing?

I just read your post and, drats, you beat me to the same 
conclusions.

I have to say I like Obie too. I neglected to say that in 
my previous post.

Last night was simply frustrating, but I actually prefer 
coaches who, in general, keep their personalities out of 
the games. Its the preparation and gameplanning that 
matters more. Obie seems very organized and effective on 
that front.

I'm sure he "notices" momentum shifts. He's not asleep at 
the wheel. But I just assume it must be part of his 
philosophy to let the players play.
