I apologize if this has been brought up before, but has anyone else noticed during timeouts the players go to the bench (which is normal), but then adelman and several of the coaches go to middle of the floor and don't talk to the players??? Just wondering if anyone else notices...
RA gets inputs from his lieutenants, they talk about it, then relay it to the players. JVG's style is he is coaching, yelling for 48 minutes.
yup...i think the purpose is that he is telling the players that he trust in them to know what they have to do ..chances are when it's a timeout, the other team is probably making a run.. like 5-0..10-2...etc...he letting them think about it and rest..if he just yell at them, they don't have a chance to catch a breather and they be like "look man I already know that I have to defend better, make better shots, and be more aggressive....."...where as JVG..if I remember correctly..he starts yelling at them as they walk TOWARDS the bench when he called a timeout..
Hey this was a valid question get off the guys ass. Fail? Fail? Fail? How long do you clowns sit and wait for your chance to use those outplayed fail pics anyways?
wtf! this kind of crap really needs to go. you really need to watch what other coaches do in timeouts and compare your Rockets timeout video clips and tell us what's the difference. Instead, Adelman has been more active at the sideline yelling out to players than he was before because he doesnt feel comfortable with the Rockets offense.
He never said Adelman was not active at the sideline! he just made a valid observation which he wanted to share and see if anyone else has noticed. Only reply to someones point if you know what he/she is talking about!
Glad you pointed that out...I wasn't saying anything about Adelmans coaching style during the game. Just by the limited responses so far, glad i dont post in the garm much!! Again, I wasnt saying anything good or bad about Adelman, but was just trying to see if anyone else noticed this.
LOL! Valid observations!? In fact, many people have put forward these "valid" observations and asked Jonathan Feign about it - who happens to follow the Rockets on court almost every game. Just check his answer. And also do more observations of what other coaches do.
Im sick and tired of people attacking Jeff Van Gundy. The man was fired last summer. He's gone! He's not paid anymore by the Rockets, so quit attacking him.
If this is the case, that is pretty neat. I've heard that Phil Jackson's approach is that he often lets the players get themselves out of the mess they get in to. It helps foster ownership of the outcome. Anyone have more details as to what happens during timeouts? Does RA provide a high-level guidance - "this is a weakness in our offense, that is a hole in their defense" and then let the players work it out?
I think it's just a sign of their differences in coaching philosophy. JVG knew what he wanted to do, knew the game plan, and pretty much stuck with it. If the guys weren't executing the game plan as well as he wanted, he'd call them on it and tell them the changes they needed to make. When the game plan just didn't work, then and only then would he try to make adjustments in that game plan. Adelman sets a game plan, but he makes more in-game adjustments to that game plan. He "trusts" his players more and doesn't call them on failed execution as much. He either lets them play through it or pulls them out. Talking to his assistants is part of figuring out changes to the game plan.
