Ping Tammo re: unity
Jackie MacMullen nicely helped me out with today's column. So just to
clarify, this is an example of the sorts of things I meant when I said that
I assumed you had seen other discussion of unity issues, even if they
didn't actually use that word:
From
http://www.boston.com/sports/basketball/celtics/articles/2004/03/24/atkins_isnt_for_every_celtic_fan/
"Atkins also has provided leadership in a locker room that was maudlin,
rudderless, and seeping with tension before his arrival. The remaining
members of the 2003-04 Celtics have endured their share of turmoil, having
lost half their team, their coach, and their credibility. Atkins claims he
was unaware of most of that when he came aboard...
"When I got traded to Boston, the first thing I did was look at the
standings. Then I said, `Yo, what's going on with this place?' "
He discovered a group of players who were angry at their front office for
blowing up the team, and often angry with each other for being unable to
piece together the rubble. "
