    people are acting like Ime is a garbage coach, and it’s astonishing to me

    you’d swear he’s a bottom 5 coach

    He is pretty underrated, I mean you could say that about 90% of all the other Player's coaches that let players play their style.

    He is no Popovich for sure. And Udoka is a disciplinarian who has a knack of knowing how to get the most out of his undermanned team..but has a tendency to get outcoached by the likes of Daigneault, etc.

    I like that Mitch Johnson is up and coming.

    Well, respectfully, i disagree... I think MDA is grossly overrated.... if u put all your eggs into the scoring basket and ignore defense and rebounding and player development... and u have the #1 offense - i think thats a hollow victory imo....

    How often were MDA seasons derailed by an injury - and he had no alternative plan... CP pulls a hammy - put a fork in us, we're done...

    The most common complaint i hear about Ime is his slowness to adjust in games... heck, MDA said straight-up said "We dont adjust to them - they adjust to us!" and he'll sit there while 27 3's clank off the iron and not change the play....

    naw man... MDA always looked like fool's gold to me... a one trick pony of sorts...

    ...and its prob why i have so much respect for the way Ime prioritizes defense and rebounding...

    and MDA never got another HC job...

    You do know that you read peoples posts in your own mind....that you attach the tenor and how you BELIEVE it to be written, what you call arrogance, is probably just someone giving their opinions.

    No one's opinion here is more important, in fact, none of what anyone says here is even remotely important.

    As for Ime - I liked Rick Adelman a lot more than him - he was a more balanced coach on both sides...Ime was a role player who made his name by playing HARD, he is a very good motivator a straight shooter with players who respect him and that is a good chunk of the job, but, he gets outcoached a lot and is slow to make adjustments - I will give him that he has only been a head coach for 3 seasons and he has room to grow, but some guys come out OOZING with knowledge like Rudy T, or Spoelstra, or if you want a newer guy, Hardy, or even the Spurs new head coach Mitch Johnson, all of whom look to be better basketball minds than Ime....

    He may win a ring, but if not, I suspect his shortcomings in the X's and O's will eventually cost him his job.

    You are right.

    he is much better than pops.

    it takes a lot more than siding with the NBA agenda from the commissioners office and living off The admiral, the big fundamental, and if not for health reasons wantmymomma (given to him by the commissioners office).

    This is every fan base though. If you go to the Warriors reddit fan page they are constantly barraging Steve Kerr with hate comments even though the man led them to 4 championships.

    Every fan page is going to have those irrational knee-jerk fans who need something to "hate" at all times. Then when you ask these people to give us good alternatives they have no answer whatsoever.
