There was a different mind-set in practice than there was in a game," Krystkowiak said. "It was like two different types of teams so we could never address sharing and moving the basketball because we did a decent job of it in practice. It was in games where it didn't happen. . . . Things became very focused on scoring points and that's Mike. Truly great players make the players around them better.

"A lot of times in practice he would defer and wouldn't be as scoring-minded and so I don't know how you're supposed to get better as a team when . . . practice was different than games

Well in practice the Bucks were playing against.....the Bucks. If LK thought Redd should be passing more and shooting less then he should have had the balls to sit him down. From what I have heard LK was a tough assistant coach who became a pushover when he took the head coaching gig.

I have no doubt Skiles will sit anyone who isn't following the game plan.

Exactly.....play as instructed or find a spot on the bench. Mike or anyone would have a hard time scoring when seated on the pine. Sit his ass or anyone's for days....weeks....or months until they "get it".

always thought K was a tough, hard-nosed player. Seems he sure was a wuss as a coach - and dumb too. See ya.

That's why I'm looking forward to Skiles. Yeah he will probably flame out in 3-4 years but at least we'll be playing the right way.

This team certainly needs an uncompromising, dictatorial style that forces them out of their comfort zone. LK probably was that in colege coaching- but in the pros, he let them rule that asylum. Too bad for the guy, because I think he'll resurface at some point. I wish he'd stay in the Bucks organization, but that's a pretty tough deal.
