[KB21]

....over his anti-young player persona:

Duh! The Hawks could have told the Raptors that Lenny absolutely refuses to play young players. Lenny has always been about Lenny.

What's this? Lenny doesn't want to use his bench?

He only wants to use his veteran players? He is not

going to work to improve the team for the future,

and only wories about the next game?

Young players don't get into games because the veteran

players look better in practice? Wow! Who would have

thought that Lenny would be like this?

{ Just all the Hawk fans who followed his career while he

was the coach in Atlanta.}

All coaches have their own personal style. They always

do certain things a certain way, no matter where they are

coaching. This is just what Lenny does. It is his way of

doing things. As a coach, he has won many games by

doing things this way and he is too old to change now.

My only thought on this is, "Why are they suprised? Did

they expect him to change? He will not change. They

should have known that. We all did." We've already

"Been there, Done that."

What's different between the way Lenny runs his team and the way Phil Jackson runs his?

Nothing.

The difference is winning. Right now, Toronto is picking up a few wins. However, if Toronto were in the same position as the Lakers, nobody would question Lenny methods. Similar to Phil Jacksons. Ask Kareem Rush how much he gets to play?

As far as the trial on Young players... Don't forget Mo. Pete and Alvin WIlliams. These guys were young players who got a lot of minutes under Lenny. I would even say, they got more minutes under Lenny as Rookies than DJ got here as a rookie.
