"I've been of the thought of Roger needing some input for a little
while now,'' said Martin. "He's, in my opinion, exhibited some anxiety
on the court, not behavioral. I think he's just pulled the trigger on
some points earlier than he has been over the years.
"You would think with Jose's playing background, if anybody had any
anxiety in their game, he could quell that because of the way he
played -- bide your time, bide your time, bide your time. At the same
time, from my conversations with Jose and my own opinions of Roger's
game, Jose is going to encourage him to be more aggressive than in the
past, but understand when and how to pick his spots, and how to impose
himself with margin as opposed to risk.''
"That was the question most asked about my relationship with Jose --
'It doesn't seem to be a good fit, he was this type of player and
you're this type of player,''' Martin said. "But the beauty of Jose's
skills as a coach is that it doesn't matter what your style is. He
coaches and teaches the game very well. And I don't know anybody that
doesn't enjoy his company. He's one of my favorite people in the
world.''
