My favorite anecdote about the relative roles of a coach and superstar is about KC Jones and Larry Bird.
In a critical game the Celtics were down 1 with a few seconds to go. On the sidelines KC is drawing up a play, and Bird says eff that, give me the effing ball. And of course that's what happened.
