Nick Nurse (Raptors) came from our G-league team. Can we find another Nick Nurse in the G-league or college ranks?
@DeBeards I suspect Coach M. A. is being groomed for the position https://closeup360.com/insiders/mah...g-head-coach-houston-rockets-g-league-vipers/
It seems…everything in the ring could be precisely concluded by rudy' quote: never underestimate the heart of a champion. I hold, no matter on whome scouts are scouting/scrutinizing either a player or a coach, without doubt they characterized the same: big ego plus mental toughness. We, fans mostly go witnessing the evolution of that particular human character transforming into one of the huge miracles on earth, i.e. mj to MJ, kb8-kb24,g-league nurse to Nurse, coach doc rivers to the one with a ring etc. We worship that splendid sportsmanship.
Looking at college coaches these coaches probably won’t leave their jobs: coach Self, Jay Wright, Bennett, Calipari. coach K, Coach Izzo. https://watchstadium.com/nba-execs-say-these-college-coaches-are-perfect-for-the-pros-01-15-2020/ Painter, Chris Mack interest me, but Kelvin Sampson, Chris Beard and Mark Few interest me more. Mark Few mostly uses screens which probably won’t go well with preventing doubles on Harden at the focal point of attack......but screens everywhere else could give us the GSW’s Princeton/ Tri-Angle Offenses. Mark Few is known for his adjustments......which I like.
Besides, an underdog mindset is one of the critical /unnoticed recipes for a blossom of figures…the second generation after WII, say MJ, olajuwon, isaiah Thomas, they sharing the same character which supported them fighting for bread n butter as well as breeding their large family with far less salaries in comparison with millenium players earned. Many players who were undrafted or coming out of a lottery draft pick born to be an underdog w/ big ego, easily be a late boomer; naturally, those who with underdog mindset at the beginning, once signed a fat contract, lose their mojo gradually.
I don’t believe an aggressive coach lasts a week with Harden-Westbrook........puppet coach like Spoelstra was when LeBron and D-Wade won at Miami probably gets the job. M.A. fits that mold......a people person strategist.
Jokic would break green chest cavity in a true seven game series! Don't won't Jeff green career ended like yao in the playoffs!
imho, Aggressive coaches wouldn't easily let go especially while not yet made their fame in their junior years （e.g. dOC vs. t-mac in Orlando). Thats why two big egos clashed theoretically, both thought 'thats enough', pop vs. the claw. I feel for him(gotta compromise), he actually having his back to the wall due to his empty pocket without a single title till now at his age (tho W％ is one dimension to gauge the success of a coach, absolutely not the only one) Handshaking.Think alike.

Joker lives in apt in denver. If he is couped up maybe him. I am not sure where James lives but the dude is a gym rat.
