I'll admit that the most prominent thing I know about Thibodeau is that he's willing to sit Boozer. This is why I'd like the guy. Not because of some Boozer hate, but because he breaks the mold that everyone gets into of "well this guy is one of our best players and he needs to okay always" thinking. It's refreshing to see someone approach the big picture.

You're absolutely right. An ability to adapt to the game and put the team in a position to win is refreshing.
