You can't just separate yourself from the rest because if you are going to get 90 percent of the credit when you win, you have to be willing to take 90 percent of the blame when you lose. . . . The best player's responsibility is to unite and inspire your teammates to play up to their full maximum ability and that never occurs if you try to separate yourself as part of the problem."
It's a good quote. The one distinction that might be important here is if Amare perceived that the players were blaming their poor energy (which is what he called them out on, not execution) on the coach. Amare may have been telling the team, in not so many words, that the same coach got maximal effort from guys in Phoenix, so look within for what's not working.
