Stoudemire says "never taught defense'' quote taken out of context. But sat on plane with Woody last night to watch

film. Wonder if D'Antoni ever did that with Amar'e? That really wasn't his style. Amar'e said a lot of the filmwork was about his role in offense. "It let’s you know the type of coach Woodson really is,'' Stoudemire said at the morning shootaround at Amway Arena. "He’s a player’s coach. He played in this league before, understands what it takes to be successful. We watched more offensive clips, to be honest with you. Defensive clips we study all the time. Coach took time out of his schedule to sit down. It shows what kind of coach and man he is.’’ Big night for Amar'e - back in Orlando area, hosting 30 kids from his hometown, Lake Wales, Fla. This is all in memory of his deceased brother, who was in fatal car accident on these roads in February. Hazell would have been 34 yesterday.
