What if rick Adelman and Jeff Van Gundy had to debate in order to win an election for head coach of the Houston rockets? What do you think some fair questions to each would be? Who do you think would win in such a structure?
The debate would be like this... JVG reinforces his defense policy and low-post security experience. Reminds of his time served in the playoffs and leading his troops to the Finals. His hands on approach to peacemaking (Alonzo Mourning). His opposition to the draft or pulling reserves. Track record of impeaching guys to the bench for bad behavior. Rick Adelman pulls the sympathy card and brings up 6 game of 2003 WCF and the refs fixing the outcome. Then he goes on about his high octane balanced offense where everyone shares the burden. Talks about incentives for alternative energy like Scola Mining and Landry Fusion. His defense initiative consists of Battier interceptor missiles and as a last resort Project 96 the A-Bomb. He continues to yap about technical stuff like the efficiency of the Princeton offense. In the end he reminds everyone of the number 22 then the work done Wizard Morey as head of the Treasury under whose watch the Rockets have cut back on purchasing large illiquid contracts or trading for bad debt assets from nonperforming NBA GMs. Thus No need for bailout package any time soon.
Mate, Simply stunning. You should be a speechwriter for one of the aforementioned candidates. That is seriously quite brilliant.
Both candidates would need extensive focus-group studies of the point-forward issue. Health care would obviously be a big concern on the mind of the electorate.
that would probably be the #1 most important topic during these debates. adelman's use of yao in the high post and larger rotation should win the argument for him.
Until Jeff brings up that RA played Yao several minutes over his previous record highs and had Yao play over 40 minutes more than his two previous seasons combined. Or that RA played yao 51 minutes in one game. But the deal ender and fatal blow would be to bring up that he was part of the Sam Bowie coaching team.
Adelman is never much of a public speaker. Not like Van Gundy. Can you imagine Adelman doing color commentary like Van Gundy did? Yikes.
That's odd. I would have said he's voting Dem because he's just like them... very defensive, and doesn't make many points.
