The Tony Allen minutes argument is overblown. If you include the last three years the percentages go way down and regress toward the mean. 42% when Tony plays less than 26 minutes and 60% when he plays more. In fact the games that Tony plays 33+ minutes the Griz winning percentage is only 33% (1-3). Also fair to note that Tony plays more in Memphis than he did in Boston. To say that Hollins doesn't play Tony, when he plays him more than any other coach played him seems agenda driven to me.
