During Richie's introductory press conference he stated it was going to be "business as usual" unfortunately for him, his opportunity came immediately following the first year free agency was introduced. He and Larry Peccatiello did the best they could with an aging and underachieving team. I always admired his methods, he had a different scheme for every team we played, the intent being to take away the strength of the opposition.
