I was in corporate management training last week.  And a segment in the training was how communicating things is most understood by people. 
Words               7%
Tone                 38%
Body Language  55%

People will understand more by someone's body language and tone than by what is written down.  Most people in training expressed how they tried to carefully write things to communicate information but the point was that it's not nearly as understood as the writer thinks.


Perhaps the Hausers should have taken a mime training class and acted out their displeasure.

What did they need a class for? They acted out their displeasure on the court.

I'm pretty sure the Hausers' dad composed the letter using cut out magazine letters so the type font couldn't be traced back to his typewriter.

They asked Jussie Smollet for help, but his magazine didn't have enough consonants left to spell Wojciechowski.

I heard the players wrote the letter and the Hausers dad redacted most of it.

ALL we know is there was a letter that Sam submitted to Wojo that was signed by many players.

We do not know that there was a letter or, if there was, that “many” players signed it.

Someone posted it on an internet message board. That’s really far from fact. I know for a fact there was a team meeting on the subject of ball distribution. Do not know one way or other about letter.

Yes, but for some reason they referred to him as Ron Artest.

I think I'm to the point where I believe the letter exists.

But as for what was in it ... all I've heard is various accounts from people who haven't seen it. I'll believe what was in it when I see it, or at least when a credible witness provides a credible account. And I'll believe that Wojo's response was an immediate F-U when, again, I hear it from a credible witness.

I'm not saying some of the stuff that's been said isn't true; what I'm saying is I don't know. And so far in my hours and hours on Scoop since Monday, I don't believe others know, either. Or if they do, they have done a pretty poor job articulating it and/or showing evidence of it.

So until then, I'm sticking with the KISS principle:

-- Wojo lost control of the team.
-- Hausers wanted the ball more.
-- Markus stays, Hausers go.
-- Wojo is on the clock.

Letter (it wouldn't surprise me), no letter....whatever. There seems to be no doubt that the players attempted to address a legitimate issue that was affecting the success of the team. It is unfathomable that they were not able to rectify the situation before it got to the point they left. It would amaze me if the coaching staff and/or Markus were not at least receptive to addressing the issue given the struggles the team was having down the stretch. I'm not suggesting they just cater to whatever the Hausers wanted, but did they really just turn a blind eye to it? Just a sad and frustrating situation all around.

This seems to be in dispute by the pro-Hauser posters.  It's not that the Hausers wanted the ball more per se, they just wanted to see it distributed more, regardless of who was getting it.

You mean like a team? It is obvious to most of us.

That's cool. Given the information all of us have at our disposal, there are all kinds of ways to interpret things, and biases naturally enter in for all of us humans.

I'm sticking with KISS as I understand it and/or until I am presented with evidence suggesting otherwise.

-- Wojo lost control of the team.
-- Hausers wanted the ball more.
-- Markus stays, Hausers go.
-- Wojo is on the clock.
