The Heat's On

DIRK GRAHAM
Coach, Blackhawks
When rookie coach Graham, Chicago's former rugged captain, was hired in June, his mandate was to galvanize the listless Hawks. But in its first 16 games under Graham, through Sunday, Chicago often came out flat and stayed that way, earning only four wins. In addition, Graham feuded with assistant Denis Savard over game plans. Said Graham last week, "I've let the team down."
