Silas is not a coach, he’s a life mentor coach.

Silas is Bo Porter. By the time rockets are good again he most likely will be long gone.

 

Sorry, I was with you until you said that JVG would have been great with this young team. What exactly is JVG great at, giving young players nightmares because he looks like Gargamael's ugly twin brother? There is a reason that no one has offered JVG a job in 18 years.

If the firing of SVG and the repeated failures of "old school" coaches have not made people understand that this sort of coaching no longer works, I don't know what else to say?

Coaching in today's world is just like managing in the corporate world: it is about collaboration, buy in and ownership. It has nothing to do with discipline. Hard ass managers do not last; employees will tune you out and will leave. It is actually worse in athletics because the players make more money than you and will just ignore you, or go to "management" (i.e. the owner) and get you fired. The GM will take the player's side because they are the one's responsible for drafting and/or signing the players and want to maintain relationships with agents.

Sorry, but that is the reality.

That is not to say that Stephen Silas is doing a good job. There may be a person better equipped to get the most out of the players. But we don't need JVG, SVG, Kenny Atkinson, Steve Clifford, or any of those types of coaches. It is hard enough for Houston to get FAs as is. They would definitely stay away with one of those bozos as HC.

 

that’s a sign of bad coaching.

Porter, Wood, Tate all look worse. KMJr can’t get on the court. Nwaba looks confused. These are 5 guys that were here last year and through preseason to now are worse.

They’re worse because there’s no system and they’re relying on Porter to basically be the PG that runs a PG led pnr type system and Porter isn’t ready for that fully without a system in place.

 

it looks bad but to be fair, his players are mostly 19-23

We have to give him at least the full season to see if he can get improvement out of them.

Either way, I'm down with getting another blue chip prospect after this years tank

 

Waiting for Mario Elie to come flying down the rafters to give Silas a stone cutter and take over HC !

 

He needs to go back to being an assistant coach for Luka or Curry or something. Maybe that's where he shines, to be secondary supportive voice

 

I can tell this is a different sport reference because I don't know wtf you're talking about.

 

Yeah Silas ain't it. The main rotation of the team doesn't look prepared for the season. Not surprised after how they looked most of the preseason. Sengun and the back of the bench guys are the only bright spot so far.

 

Silas will help us snag Chet. Then we ought to get JVG to coach these youngsters up. What JVG could do with all that athleticism...

 

I love JVG, he’s one of my absolute all-time favorite dudes, but he would be terrible with this group. Not only that, but they might literally kill him from the stress.

Silas hasn’t shown me anything at all. I hate it because you can tell he’s a great person, but his “offense” doesn’t really exist, and they don’t really play defense either. What else is there? If you don’t do one, you better be damn good at the other. This team sucks at both. That’s not inspiring.

 

His offense works for vets not for young bucks who need structure and discipline. He has got to motivate and challenge. The starting lineup needs a change as well. Theis should not be starting but coach is trying to have the vets lead but the real leaders are EG John Wall and Augustine and they are all have their roles reduced

 

Chris Finch coached poorly when he was with us, look at him now. His team played excellent defense

 

He looks special needs @RasaqBoi

 

I already posted in this thread but thought I’d pop back in.

it’s hard to adequately describe how disappointed I am in the coaching staff at the moment.

that’s all.

 

Maybe folks over hyped the players on the roster. We did have 200+ folks vote that KPJ would be either a Franchise Player or Borderline All-Star. We had folks say that MDA would be picked up quickly for a Head Coach job. Where is he now?

 

Sengun and KJ Martin need to teach some of these girlies mang

 

So many coaching experts on here
