Just an update on all this because this made for some very interesting Sports Radio today....
Blatche was getting blasted on 106.7 The Fan down here in DC all day today. So around 12pm today BLATCHE himself calls into the show. He says that Flip pulled him out for his shot selection not his defense. He said that he never refused to go back in the game. Flip never asked him to go back in. He said he didnt have a problem until the team started to lose that he became irritated he didnt go back in the game. He said that Flip and no other coaches tried to talk to him or ask him during the game if he wanted to go back in. When asked if he would offer an apology he responded by saying that hes not in the wrong at all here at all so he wont give an apology if he did nothing wrong. He said it's the medias job to get to the bottom of stories, so he challeneges the media to find these three coaches that came to talk to him and get him back in the game, because it never happened...........
.........well a few hours go by and one of the reporters decided to accept Blatches challenge and find out who the three coaches were.......and they were Sam Cassell, Randy Whittman, and Flip himself. He also found out that immediately after the game Blatche, Saunders, and Ernie Grunfeld got into a VERY heated exchange in the locker room. ALso an assosciate of Blatches had come out and said that Blatche admitted to him that when Flip approached Blatche when he pulled him out of the game, Blatche just kept walking because 'he didnt want to hear it'
Absolutely crazy man, Ive never seen a player call in on the radio show when he had been getting blasted all day long. Not to mention call in and completely lie through his Teeth like Blatche just did today. The Wiz are lucky they havent given Blatche an extension yet.
Whats even crazier, after this stunt that Blatche pulled in the game, refusing to apologize, AND THEN calling his head coach a liar on the radio, not only are they saying hes gonna play tonight, BUT HES GONNA START!!!!!! What is Flip thinking! I guess thats true that they said about Flip when he left Detriot, he cant control a locker room.
