    I didn't know Rudy calls plays!

    Calvin must have been looking at the opposing team.

    Respect Hakeem's legacy. A championship in the hand is worth two in the bush!!

    The following is from Mitch Lawrence's latest column on the espn website:

    "As of last week, teams were averaging only 80 shots per game. Ten years ago, the Utah Jazz averaged 85 per game -- dead-last in the department. We've too many control freaks walking the sidelines these days, coaching as if they're ready to be handed their pink slips. "Basketball is entertainment and we're going to lose all our fans, eventually, if we don't start entertaining," said Hall of Famer and ex-Rocket Calvin Murphy. "Especially with the price of the tickets teams are charging. People want to see basketball. They didn't come to see coaches standing on the side, holding four fingers down, calling plays all the time." No kidding."

    So, do you think Calvin has communicated that to Rudy?
