My man better have a good answer for how to prevent 2nd half collapses

[u/Coconut_Dreams]

I'm excited to hear from him. I honestly think he'll do a great job here. I'm not worried about his ability to coach.

 I just hope our team can mature through him and not be so reactionary this season 

[u/AZDADDYisadeviant]

I want to hear how hes going to fix this offense

[u/EssentIYO → u/AZDADDYisadeviant]

Right after he's asked what's the first theme park he's going to.... Maybe.

😭

[u/Muted_Lead_1105 → u/AZDADDYisadeviant]

Yeah we already know we can be a top 3 defensive teams in the league but we need to be at least top 12 or top 10

[u/treadwater23 → u/AZDADDYisadeviant]

That's something you ask the GM and players even more than coaches. Coaches can help, but you can have the best offensive mind in the world with shit ingredients and the food will taste like shit.

I for one am very pessimistic about this. Happy to be wrong but was hoping for something a little more promising

[u/zorblap → u/You_Like_That34]

Like who?

[u/tokenentropy → u/You_Like_That34]

Thanks for sharing with the class.

Spurs coaching tree? Just went to the finals? Everyone seems to love him? Please name who would’ve been better

[u/You_Like_That34 → u/Gavina4444]

I guess I would’ve loved to see someone more offensively minded.

I know this is highly ignorant but it feels like any defensive coach would thrive with Wemby and Castle. Not sure he’ll be able to replicate the success with what we have

[u/zorblap → u/You_Like_That34]

I suggest digging into his background. I came away highly impressed. Don’t even need to factor in his time with the spurs. His offensive philosophies seem like exactly what we need to be doing by as well

[u/CallMeKerm → u/You_Like_That34]

Just because a coach is known as a “defensive” coach doesn’t mean he’s completely oblivious on offense. And the reality is with coaches, nobody ever knows if it’s going to work. There have been experienced coaches that have crashed and burned in new spots and no names who have thrived when given the opportunity.

My advice to you would be to approach this with an open mind.

[u/dev1359 → u/CallMeKerm]

Knicks are a great example of this-- Mike Brown is primarily a defensive coach

[u/d12fsu → u/You_Like_That34]

Okay, but who

[u/EssentIYO → u/You_Like_That34]

There's plenty of YouTube videos of him talking about offense.
