The sporting news had some interesting comments from DC in September 13,2013 that looking bad suggest there has been issues between the two of them going back to last year. JV to his credit has kept his mouth shut but his body language, at times, is that of a defiant player who wants more. DC's actions show he does not have much faith in JV. Remember last year when DC played AA so much? DC seems to have more faith in veterans than younger players. I think this could be a huge issue moving forward because JV most likely will not be traded and DC will stunt his development and confidence if continues in the repetitive pattern he has done cumulatively last year and this year.

As for whether there's a hidden, deeper issue at work, none of us have any idea since we're not in the locker room.
What players doesn't want more playing time, rookie, sophomore, or otherwise?

Was there sustained and ongoing tension between Iverson and Larry Brown? Yes.
Was there sustained and ongoing tension between Rafer Alson and Sam Mitchell? Yes.
Is there sustained and ongoing tension between JV and Casey? No.
Just a Coach not trusting his player, and a Player feeling like he's earned that trust.

Threads have been dedicated to arguing about DC's preference for veterans and the apparent mismatch between his coaching styles and rebuilding. You're acting as though this is something new and shocking that you've uncovered.

Do you want to be at the same point next year with a different coach and some new players?Last edited by CalgaryRapsFan; Thu Dec 19, 2013, 05:21 PM.

As a 'pro-tanker' in favor of a rebuild, I was worried last year with the lack of playing time being given to Valanciunas and Ross, and that has only continued this season. There's nothing unfair about it, that's just a fact of life in pro sports. I think you're reading way too much into a coaching decision.

This is the sort of issue where I trust Ujiri has a pretty good read on it (much better than fans watching for non-verbal cues during timeouts) and would act appropriately if he felt it was a potentially explosive situation. I think MU respects Casey's authority to manage minutes, but would intervene things if he saw a deteriorating relationship. At least I would hope that would be MU's reaction to the situation. For what it's worth, my reading of JV's body language is pretty much what p00ka has said.
