It may or may not be a disconnect. It's quite possible that the blowups JB had with those other players were different than what transpired with Woody. The reaction to the arguments may also have a lot to do with how the relationships were repaired. Successful coaches develop methods to get players' attention and to perform the way they want. Some players don't respond to these methods or it takes them longer (a couple of years) to get the point and see the lesson. 
You may be right in that JB has lost something as he has aged that has affected his ability to reach his players. It could also be that a lot of players- particularly the more talented ones- don't feel like they need to be coached as much as they need to be "managed" and now they have the freedom to leave without penalty to play for a coach they think will be better for them.
Getting back to Rony, Dion,  Scoop and MCW, maybe they responded the way coach wanted them to and Woody went the other direction, and maybe that is the difference.
