    The main job of a head coach is to surround yourself with great assistants.

    Good to see Span get some minutes in Europe.

    LOL, if he's a great defensive coach, then what does that make Spanoulis, who was routinely crossed over and embarrassed by NBA superstars like Kyle Korver?

    You know what you get get if you switched hearts with V-Span and T-Mac? You'd get the same two players.

    To make matters worse, it was after Korver stole the ball from him in the backcourt. I rmember howling about it in the game chat when it happend. That was pretty much the end for ol' hairy neck.

    I read 'The main job of a head coach is to surround yourself with great assassins'.

    ....which, I guess, is Phil Jackon's secret.

    I don't see any Van Gundy bashing in that statement. He just stated the obvious. Thibodeau is a very good coach.

    And Van Gundy has not gotten another coaching job, while Spanoulis is making millions and millions of euros a year to play basketball.

    So your comment makes no sense.

    Because, he has not tried to get another coaching job. If he ever does want to get back in the coaching game, he can get any job he wants.

    But, no need telling you that, right? :grin:

    JVG is getting paid millions to do be the best analyst in pro sports... :)

    Isn't this the job of any Assistant Coach? The job of the head coach is to coach and manage the game, thus the limited interaction between spanoulis and JVG....

    yeah......see, when you suck then the head coach typically doesnt spend time with talking to you but rather focuses on the actual good players

    This is pretty much what I thought, had it come from an actual rotation player it might have some more weight. End of the bench guy he went running back home, not so much...
