Yeah I'm with it. Can't fight the fight anymore. Team is too undisciplined. That is a reflection of the coach. Watched Dallas and S.A. play last night and you can see what the difference between elite and non elite coaches. Ball movement guys paying attention to detail on defense etc. You also can see little adjustments that the good ones (Pop, Carlisle, Doc) make. Pop loses his point for the year and simply moves Derozan over to handle point guard responsibilities. In this age of small ball and three point shooting Pop goes to back to the basics of playing elbow down/mid range jump shooting. He realizes that small ball means there isn't any rim protection and his two best players are really non 3 point shooting. Rather than simply forcing them to become that he plays to their strengths.
Can't vouch for him any longer. Done
Your contention that coaching doesn't matter in the NBA was one of the more ignorant sports thoughts ever uttered on the board. Hoiberg always sucked ass.
You are lyng about what i said but its not surprising since that is sort of what you do.
Saying that anything pertaining to "most ignorant on here" is A. An exaggzration. And B. Just plain stupid.
Until you can show me a coach that has won or contended for anything with mediocre talent then you really aren't saying shit.
As far as Hoiberg goes he might not be the best or one of the better coaches in the league but he is still missing (3 out of his top
guys right now.
Also you thinking Thibs is one of the top 3 coaches in the league (notice how you run from that shit now) is one of the most ignorant comments ever uttered on this board.
Seconded by the Alvin Gentry is the "worst coach in the league" bullshit. Doc too as i remember.
Do you really think you are the best judge of coaching talent because i sure don't.
sucks
Oh yeah he is trolling.Not trying to lie or troll. You believe talent wins alone but the most talented team in the world isn't winning if the coach sucks. I don't believe I said Gentry is the worst. I said he wasn't special and that he'd be fired mid season last year. He didn't get fired but he's still not special.
Thibs was an extremely good coach in Chicago. Top three. He hasn't been top three in Minny. Current performance doesn't mean you can revise his history in Chicago.
First of all you stated on numerous occasions that Gentry was an awful or terrible coach. It wasn't just that he "wasn't special" whatever that means you said he was terrible. Don't change it now.
Thibs had a great first 2 years. Average to above average 3-4 year and a bad 5th year. That team underachieved and also quit on him.
If you are going to constantly criticize Hoiberg for not getting the most out of guys then you have to admit that the same thing happened under Thibs.
He has been exposed as an overrated coach and to be honest the mystery surrounding his regular season success is no more.
All he does is play his starters a lot while guys on the other team are sitting. He wears his guys out trying to win "meaningless" regular season games and once he gets to playoffs and other teams begin to play their starters similar minutes he gets blitzed.
His defensive prowess was overstated and ability to "control" has been revealed to be one big joke.
He is currently in the bottom 3rd of coaches currently.
This doesn't even begin to delve into all the leaking to Cowley shit that both he and Butler routinely engaged in..Notice how none of that shit has occurred since those two Judists have been shipped the hell out of town.
Hoiberg may not be the guy but it still doesn't change the fact that Thibs should have been whacked.
I will say this about coaching. A great coach with average talent ain't winning shit.
Pop will never win another championship with the Spurs. Doesn't have the talent. He will never contend for another title. Does it mean that he is a bad coach? no he doesn't have talent.That is all it is.
Steve Kerr isn't a great coach. He blows your theory out the water all by himself.
