Cannibalism!!!

Never understood why Skiles went to MIL. That seems like a place where an up and coming coach could build his resume before moving on to bigger and better things. Skiles is a proven commodity and I think someone like him should aim higher.

Skiles would be better off coaching in college.

Texted in the "Skiles to northwestern" idea when Carmody was fired. Schuster laughed it off, saying Skiles would blow his top trying to deal with college kids.

It made me feel better about the idea.

I cringed when Schuster was on 670 covering the Lovie firing. I think it was a holiday and the regular host guys were off.

Anyway, are you all saying Skiles would be better suited to college because he's only got to get guys to listen to him for a max of four years, at most? I don't watch any college ball so I just wanted to see if this is the rationale behind the thought.

Pretty much. Shorter seasons, too. There's also the conjecture that college players would be more likely to "buy in" than pros.

I know everyone shat on Charlie Weis for talking about how he'd bring a "decided schematic advantage" by descending from the pros to college, but I do believe Skiles could immediately be a better coach than a lot of guys in the college ranks. It's not the sort of experiment you'd try in a high-stakes program, but I think he could work wonders with a distressed asset like Nebraska basketball, for instance. What are some other power-conference schools that are big on the football side but not the basketball side? Places like that.

Hinrich, Gordon, and Deng were playing really well and the Heat were banged up and didn't care. It wasn't that amazing. We all saw it coming.

What was more impressive that year was coming back from 0-3 against the Pistons to about halftime of game 6 before the motor finally went out.

Skiles lacks the charisma that it would take to recruit.

"Hi, I'm Scott Skiles. I've won over 400 games in the NBA. Play for my team and you are likely to win."

Did this seriously get the no sell treatment? I won't have that.

You and I will vehemently disagree with each other on Skiles then. I think Scott Skiles is truly a taskmaster, "get guys to try hard for one year and then completely grate on them" type. And then, once his complete lack of interpersonal skills and inability to relate to players and coaching staff wears on everyone, he tips out the back door while passing the buck saying, "Well I couldn't win with these guys. They aren't talented enough and they won't listen." Scott Skiles in my opinion doesn't deserve another NBA coaching job and as Curious Hair has opined, is much better suited for college.

The Bucks haven't been NBA relevant in some 25 years.

Not true.
