Josh shouldnt take your advice and bite the hand that 
feeds him. 

Before the game, Michael Gooens dad reminded Ozersky he 
just needs to somehow cultivate a second source   or 
else he will appear to be a mouthpiece no matter what 
he writes. 

Actually, I think it was Josh who brought it up. 
Obviously, any reputable news organization requires a 
second source, anonymous or not, to file a story. (They 
don't all do that, as I learned recently at work.) 

But if you already have developed a useful inside source 
(not always the easiest thing to cultivate), you dont 
throw that hand away just to impress your friends on 
IGTC. 

Wallace actually reads his stuff, unfortunately. Trust is 
the basis for greater candor. 

Hoopsworld doesn't even have press accreditation from the 
Celtics. No dot.coms are accredited by the Celts, in 
fact. That would be the first step before Josh can ask 
all the tough follow-up questions. 

Just be patient. Josh understands the limitations of one 
source news. And he's more critical of management than 
you might (for whatever reason) think. Its a very worthy 
criticism to raise, but in this case he shouldn't take 
your specific advice.
