Of course, it's not to say Buck-Williams used power for personal gain; on the contrary, Buck has always sought to represent a broader range of players' interests.
During the 1995-1996 season, he continuously attempted to restructure the Players Union and amend its charter, changing from the previous system of a 3/4 representative election to a full membership election, allowing for a more open and transparent process, and involving more people in the discussion of agreements.
He also aimed to establish a new electronic notice system, delivering every detail and information of the union's negotiations with the management to each player via electronic mail.
Unfortunately, Buck-Williams misjudged the political enthusiasm and literacy of NBA players and lacked a full understanding of the League players' power structure.
Although in voting elections, the players' influence is the same, with each person having one vote.
