He should only apologize after he comes to understand the mistakes and misunderstandings he has made. I am not sure he understands that yet, so he shouldn't apologize now, but once he does understand.
Players are acquired for their abilities and skills Now JVG wants VSpan to play a different style before he can get playing time, I'd say that's a perfectly good time to complain. It's exactly how America works
Van Gundy should apologize For only playing a 7 man rotation, when most the league plays at least 9. How does anybody get better on our bench, when only 2 players get off it. What happens when Yao returns? Is Luther Head or Bonzi Wells being demoted to DNP status. 7 man rotation is a 7 man rotation, so why would JVG change his DAMN system when Yao comes back. I understand playing a tight rotation in the playoffs, but the regular season is to see what you got. Not to wear down 7 guys every night, and loose our leads in the 4th quarter...
Nice counting. Last night he played 8 men (Mutumbo, Howard, Battier, McGrady, Alston, Head, Wells, Hayes). Previously in the weeks before, he went with a 9 man rotation incorporating Lucas III. When Yao comes back it will probably be a 9 or 10 man rotation, if Snyder, Lucas III, Spanoulis, Novak, or player to be named later gets incorporated in. Get it?
Got it In his press conference the other day, he was asked about his rotation and he stated he had a 7 man rotation working that night. Stated he had nobody else to play (remember ). Sometimes he might plays 8-9 people, but I am not sure limited minutes count as a rotation player. My point is that lately he seems have tighten up his rotation and last night was the exception, since Hayes got more minutes. The previous game he had 8 players, with Hayes only getting 9 minutes. Taking a quick look at a few recent games, it seems the other top western teams are playing 9 players 15-20 minutes a game.
