I stop liking Doc the day he said "yeah Danny bring 2 new players from China, I don't even know their names" and he laugh.
That says a lot to me, + I always hate the way he never gives a chance to the rookies.
Too old style coaching for me, thank god we have Brad Stevens now, very refreshing and more in tune with today's basketball.
actually, earlier discussions here showed this is not the case at all. this is one of cb's urban legends. doc played rookies decent minutes a number of times. for example:

gomes, 23 minutes/game as a rookie
rondo, 23.5
jefferson 15
tony allen, 16.4
west, 13
glen davis, 14
powe, 11.4

here is a complete list, including doc's time in orlando. he gave rookies time on the court.

it's actually not a myth.  need to supply the other part of the equation --> what 'vets' did he sit in favor of playing these guys?  the answer always comes down to this, he plays young players when he has no veteran option to throw out on the court instead

This is sometimes known as wanting to put the best talent on the floor in order to win basketball games.

We were hardly stocked full of talented rookies who were just waiting to get playing time when Doc was coaching the C's.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

If the Clippers win the NBA title, Ogaju's face will forever transform into the Crying Michael Jordan meme.
