Diversity • White mans game • Changed the game and paved the way for African Americans • Older players taking a back seat to the freshman • Having to take criticism for what the Fab Five got into • Completely different personalities then the other players on the team
Tuckmans Theory • Forming • Was all over the news and they were watched by everyone • Storming • Most of the first season they were in this stage • Clashed heads a lot • Performing • Reached this stage for brief moments but never maintained it for the entire season • Adjourning • There was no fairy tail ending • Webber left on bad terms and refused to be apart of the documentary
Conflict Resoluton • Older players not wanted to take a bock seat at first • Realizing it was better for the team • Banners removed and wins taken away due to players receiving money • Chris Webber played the main roles in this conflict and many others • “Playboy” • Most conflicts were worked through by team • After the 93’ championship game the conflict was never resolved
Energy Bus • Each player drove their own bus • Not all busses were headed in the same direction • Chris Webbers bus took and sharp left turn and never came back • Players did excellent job keeping negative passengers off bus • Kept bus going through all the criticism
