Windhorst was on with LeBatard earlier and said most of what has been mentioned here, although he made sure to state this was his opinion. They asked where this player attitude towards Blatt started. Windhorst brought up after the Bulls game when the team presented Blatt with the game ball for his first victory and were slapping him on the back and stuff. Blatt made the point of letting the team know he had won 700 other games, this wasn't his first W. Windhorst stated Blatt is used to being treated the way he was over seas and doesn't realize he needs to earn it here. This may have been the moment the players took a step back and said, "whoa"
Edit
Windy also said that most likely Blatt remains coach this season. The "backing" by Griff was a message to the fans, players, and especially James. He said that James would never go to Griff or Gilbert and say "fire him", James doesn't want the blood on his hands. Instead he's "saying" this through actions. The FO saying Blatt is our coach was a response to all this
