Re: Questions That Weren't Allowed On Antoine's Chat

I'd like to agree, but Walker was instrumental in the Celts going .500
immediately after Pitino's departure.  You can also suggest that getting
robbed at gunpoint at 4am was the single man factor in Walker's change in
behavior.

I prefer to use information that's tied to the time of the behavior change.
A response that follows the stimulus is easy to attribute--playing with
Jordan was months after he turned around and led the team to a decent 2001
finish.
