    They put it all out there.

    That's not the point though. Point is basketball insiders put this up before cyber the guru ran to these boards.

    Then explain why cybrex rarely posts and doesn't use a twitter account nor cares to contribute to conglomerators of internet chatter like hh. He called the Jack interest. And Morey confirmed that Jarret Jack's injury screwed us. That was his last thing he said.

    cybrex is reporting nearly the exact opposite to the "Milwaukee sources."

    What kind of legit coach can't look at the stats, see Drummond is 35% from the free throw line and develop a strategy himself to use that against the opponent to beat them. I wouldn't need Morey recommending to me to put Drummond on the line. I'd figured it out all by myself and made him shoot 50 of them.

    JBB said himself that it didn't work and that the instruction came from the FO. My opinion remains that an established coach would not appreciate/tolerate that kind of "input" -- especially Thibs, given the notoriously fractured/intrusive front office relationship he left behind in Chicago.

    Basketball insider..who? Steve Kyler a guy who makes 10 rumours aka lies a day? LMAO. Great point bravo.

    :rolleyes: Why do you even post here? People who would honestly believe in Steve Kyler as a source I'm surprised they even know how to read or use the internet.

    I am referring not to the substance of the instruction, but the fact that the front office is making in-game coaching decisions at all.

    I'm not backing up Morey on this one, but I would hope he wouldn't have the balls / stupidity to suggest anything, let alone this strategy, to an established coach.

    Morey does need to step off.

    Most FO give suggestions to coaches. Skiles just said that he wanted to put out Frye but the FO and the analytics told them that they played better with him so he had to change his mind.

    Now for someone like Thibs with his bad experience not sure he would be agreeable to much intervention beyond the level of a simple suggestion.
    But the coaching staff HAS TO WORK with the FO.

    It did work overall. The Rockets just missed shots. You have to make shots or else nothing works. The Rockets didn't put pressure on Drummond to make them, and he found a small rhythm from the line.

    The Rockets took the lead the first time they did it and they didn't take advantage of it which is why they had to tod it again. They weren't getting stops and they weren't scoring. The Pistons were on another run.

    The Rockets also scored like 80% of there points in the second half when Drummond was on the bench so...

    The fact is without out starting PG and Center, we probably weren't going to win this game no matter what.

    I personally have not heard of the front office making in-game Xs and Os decisions, but perhaps I'm just out of the loop.

    they for sure didn't call the coach mid game but made the suggestion during the preparation process?
    Pop changed his strategy concerning long rebounds some years ago due to the FO (analytics department).
    Coaches have been fired because they didn't listen to the FO suggestiona regarding xs and os (i.e Hollins).

    JB was down 9 at half to the Pistons at home. I'm all for some additional input, from Morey or elsewhere, because his game plans have been failing. What I don't like is him pushing it off on the FO. You're the coach, you have the final say. If they were going to fire you they would have already fired you, so if you don't like it and have a BETTER IDEA OF HOW TO WIN, then let's see it.

    As a sidenote...

    People that wanna rag or question cyberx - STFU!

    I for one appreciate any insight he has to offer. If you do not - then don't feel compelled to partake in the thread... its that simple....

    i have no problem with people arguing different points of view... but dont question the mans integrity - show a little class and social decorum...

    the hack a drummond worked, it's **** basketball and a horrendous spectacle, but it did work, but one tactic working doesn't win a game.

    What i don't get is why they committed the 4 fouls first, you can just foul before the ball is inbounded as it results in 2 free throws, penalty or not.

    They really need to consider hiring coaches that know the rules

    morey has got to go. Let the coaches coach you fat tub of lard. That mchale being morey's lapdog is true I'm so disappointed. I live in Miami and it's night and day between the ownership of the two franchises here as far as management. The Dilphins have ****ty management and get ****ty results. The heat have top management and they're teams are GPP. It seems that the rockets management is ****ty

    It's not really debatable, IMO, AD missed a lot and they came back to get the lead. That's a fact..I think JB would have said it worked, if they won. He was probably just upset over the loss and figured there was no point in giving the hacking more attention.

    And again, Morey said it was a suggestion. Perhaps JB just took it without fighting it bc he thought it would work better than it did. Or maybe he's just afraid to not take Moreys suggestions. A coach under contract would probably find it easier to overrule the FO from time to time.

    Its about reporting details not facts. And lol at the twitter comment.

    Fact is hoopshype, via basketball insiders, had put the rumor out Ty to milwaukee (though unlikely) first. First surface mention is there THEN Cybersex comes in.

    You're really out of the loop. Just think for one of the main reason coaches lose their jobs. Think disagreements between FO & HC.

    Do you know how foolish you make yourself sound? I say Basketball Insider the WEBSITE, not as someone specific. Get a clue.

    Klutch, this is why I have to assert my IQ dominance. Like good lord malakas, are you that off?
