Maybe he's wrong, but he's on the record about why he has this approach. And you don't need a team with a lame duck GM or injured President to have an agreement with the coach to follow a certain path with prospects. It's not even an unusual path.
But why does a last minute rookie coach get the power to decide on player usage for a team out of playoffs? At some point somebody needs to step in and say, “Why aren’t you playing Voronkov more?” My uncharitable assumption is the people in the front office are all updating their resumes and reaching out to contacts looking for other jobs rather than challenging Vincent on player usage. “I could go into the staff meeting and raise an issue about playing Boone 23 minutes per night or I could just keep my mouth shut and wait for my buddy in the Kings organization to get back to me on potential jobs.”
