So this is another person that references abuse of just regular JLA staff. You could be the guy that changes the garbage and if you didn't do it right...
No, I don't think all people are equating them, just more Bowman did some pretty reprehensible things in his own right. I really doubt a bunch of people are going to talk on it above what they have, but he used to bully guys pretty good, he generally got his targets moved out of town though.
Keep in mind through 2009 Bowman and Babcock talked daily when Scotty was in his consulting role. That was really his biggest role once he moved back to Buffalo was the constant communication with Babcock. I think Babcock is a Bowman want to be that couldn't pull it off in the same manner and what went from bad attempts, became spectacularly bad attempts once he couldn't clear some of his ideas or take Scotty's ideas on tough love and apply them. It is why it has gotten progressively worse and more dug in. But that is my opinion. I have heard plenty of stories on Bowman that aren't great either, but ultimately he had a much better feel for the line on most of his players and the people around him. I mean think of how often Ken Daniels tells the story of Bowman MFering him in the lobby and not talking to him for 6 or so weeks because he was unhappy with something he said. Was it crazy different than Babcock on Strickland, probably not only he and Daniels did eventually talk and he did a much better job of re-establishing the relationship. Babcock seemed to want to establish dominance and keep it. Bowman wanted to establish dominance, but ultimately I think he wanted you to see he was working towards something. Babcock missed out on that part of his teachings in my opinion and just focused in on the endless mind games and preparation habits Bowman was known for, but Scotty figured out how to get to other levels beyond and if he was going to give up on you he just got you traded instead of keeping you for whipping boy purposes.
