It's only an altruism for those who falsely believed the youngins were better than the vets. Now that that has been exposed, the Occam's razor theory that vets were better hence Ty played them has been made plain and clear.
I haven't always been a Ty supporter, but now I'm definitely a convert. Can't stress this enough "Coach can't shoot the ball for you - players are responsible for getting the ball in the hole".
In hindsight, that's what Big Al and Millsap did. They got it done offensively and Ty was right in playing them big minutes.
