Fire coach Ezra Hendrickson has asked for patience with his team. With better health and more time to mesh, he thinks it could succeed.
‘‘It’s not so much patience because guys are young, but it’s patience because it’s a relatively new team and it’s going to take awhile to get guys to mesh and jell with each other,’’ Hendrickson said Wednesday. ‘‘And now you have also a new coach with a new philosophy that they have to also grasp. So when I talk about patience, it’s not so much about age or anything like that; it’s about giving time to develop.’’
