Message: [QUOTE="VaBeachOrFan, post: 2011916, member: 1274"] Meeting was a good thing to have, given that they are virtually a bunch of strangers. JB made it clear in his post-Cornell presser that he's not there to hold hands and conduct retreats -- he's just the ol' ball coach who drills them in their on-court assignments. Too bad. The soft stuff is the hard stuff. Cornell game showed some improvement in areas posters have been urging: AW's IIIs weren't falling, so he drove to the basket more than in the past. Lydon took a more assertive role. Howard had only one turnover. Gillon passed of some of his drives. Maybe the meeting accomplished something after all. Now as to who steps up to become the team leader and/or the one who puts the team on his shoulders at crunch time, that's still TBD, but it apparently won't come from JB.-VBOF [/QUOTE]
