I wonder if MM was partly referring to Raji when he said this at his season ending PC:

“Well, I'm not going to get into specifics of conversations and this and that. But I think when adversity hits, people go one way or the other, so a lot of it was good, some of it wasn't so good. And with that, when you set a path, and particularly with the program, it's about the program. Everybody has to buy into the program, and when you do that, you're able to get through times like we were able to get through this year. But also, things show up that you may not think were there. With that, it just gives you more information, gives you more of an opportunity to grow.
