We always read or hear about how this is BP's team because he built it. I am not sure if the media realize they are actually giving him a backhanded complement.
Yes he built this team with a lot of help. There are plenty of people still on staff that assisted or even pointed out players for BP to draft, pickup in FA and even cut.
As for the backhanded complement, the media has to realize there is more to coaching then buying some "groceries". Yes he deserves credit (along with the others that help build this team) but he also should be blamed for not delivering better results.
Of course the media only want to sell one side of the story.
Assuming we would have the exact same team and previous results as we do now, how do you think the story would have been written or told (read sold) in the media if Bill had replaced Wade?
