    We all know that Rudy's a conservative coach, but is that for the past. He says he wants to trying different rotations to see "what" the team is, but I've been seeing the same thing game after game. The team is still guard oriented and very much ISO. He's reluctant to use rookies who supposedly have skillz. I think he did a great job during the championships, especially when the "zone" rule wasn't in effect, but do you guys think he's behind in the times perhaps when superstars took teams to the playoffs as opposed to the teams as a whole.?

    Age has nothing to do with it! Sometimes people become stuck in the mud! It doesn't matter how old you are. Think of all the young Red Necks that are out and about with such limited ability to accept a new vision, because of their upbringing and education or lack of same! Age generally means experience and wisdom and we expect these qualities in our mature Coach Rudy T. Let us see where he is going with this team, its going to take at least 41 games to tell!!

    AGE? older coachs are usually the better coaches neway. they care more about the fundamentals of the game not the high flyn even tho that does but fans in the stands. So Rudy isnt to old

    Maybe he is too old. He's losing his memory. He doesn't know "what" his team is???

    He drafted KT and Eddie Griffin, he signed Mo Taylor to a huge contract, he should have known if they could play or not!!!

    No, I'm not sure he has or is making the best personnel decisions, I don't understand his strategy, small ball seems to be played at the most inopportune times, etc, etc., but Rudy is certainly not senile. He is relatively young compared to most NBA coaches. I love Rudy, but I don't understand what direction he is taking this team. Win or lose, the team "seems" to lack discipline and structure.

    Maybe I should've been more specific... I didn't mean it literallly. I meant old as in old fashion, conservative, unwilling to take risk... more with the mental aspect.
