Alan Hahn is impressed with the Bulls players meeting and unanimously voting to force Joakim Noah to sit another game. Then again, he's a Knicks beat writer, so the Bulls season must look like cake and ice cream compared to the Blackhawk-ian mess the Knicks are.
The Knicks, if you recall, voted to sit Marbury after he left the team and went to NJ. Isiah let him play. That, apparently, was the wrong thing to do. I'm all for that, because Isiah is always wrong, even when he changes his mind.
But in this case, we have a guy who admitted the team quit on the last coach and who is being paid $15m this year and a guy who can't play running the team. As for the specific matter, it's Boylan's fault. Either he should have suspended Noah 2 games in the first place, or he should have told the team 1 game was enough. The main point being, he should have known that the players were that pissed and nipped it in the bud.
In a larger sense this is on Pax's head. He has a guy on his team that clashed with coaches, quit on his coach, and is now calling out rookies for clashing with coaches. The players that SHOULD be leading this aren't leaders (Hinrich) or are playing for contracts with no guarantee that they'll be here tomorrow let alone next year.
What a mess.
