Message: [QUOTE="miamicuse, post: 4964551, member: 7237"] One thing that probably contributed to Benny's behavior (and I have no inside information) is the coaching change. Red coaches the forwards so he is the one working with Benny and whenever there is any setbacks or problems Red played the good cop to JB's bad cop. Benny probably assumed once Red became HC, Red would be easier on him and no more dealing with JB, but Red has to make HC decisions now and be the bad cop and Benny couldn't adjust to it. Not that this is an excuse but leadership changes can be tough on the existing team members for an internal hire because they got used to expecting that internal hire playing the good cop. [/QUOTE]
