You need to be his type of guy to crack the rotation and get consistent minutes. That all well and good when you have a solid foundation but when you are building a team up, it's just not great for development.
100% THIS.
RC has clearly played rookies, there should be zero debate on that. But there is a long history of players across the board (though young ones especially) that for whatever reason do not mesh with RC. And we have seen some of those players really blossom outside of the confines of RC's personality (and we have seen some really suck too).
Again, I think RC is a good coach, I just do not believe he is the right coach for this set of players and situation.
NOTE: Just my current take that I reserve the right to change in a few months and to be dead wrong on.
