Zorn 'calling out' Portis, for lack of a better term, showed that he wasn't scared to take on a star player. What happened afterward was a bit of backpedaling & it became apparent that Zorn was doing some damage control. Don't know to what extent DS played a part in it, or if Zorn just realized that it didn't help to talk to the press.
Either way, he often showed that he has ideals & standards for his players to live up to in preparing for games. I see him as just about as laid back a guy as norv personally, but he brings more energy to his work & commands more respect by being on top of things. Just my observations.
