If Kostas hadn't had displayed such a lack of self-control on the court, jawing the refs, taunting, and foul trouble, perhaps Grant would have played him more? It's hard to imagine that those attitude issues weren't also present off the court.
Knowing that he would be gone after the season, why would a new coach invest in him and give him minutes rather than give others court time? Seems like a smarter move on Grant's part.
To me, that technical foul moment sealed his spot on the bench. Doesn't take an "insider" to see what we witnessed early on.
Issues not mentioned in any of these articles about him.
