Is Rick Adelman the poorest coach out of time out?

JVG was worse.

 

My biggest problem with Adelman is actually that he takes players out of the lineup when they are on a roll. If it is the fourth quarter and a player is making shots - Leave him in the lineup!!! Everyone in the Rockets is prepared to play 48 minutes per game + overtime if necessary. I think he does this to balance minutes, but it is hurting us. When the shots are falling for a guy, leave him in. I have seen this a couple of times, particularly with Kevin Martin and Scola. Then when he takes them out and puts them back in they are not quite as sharp anymore.

Our balanced minutes 10 man rotation is hurting us.

 

time out play.... there's one play... Buddinger curl for a jump shot.

speaking of coaching... if Z Randolph is going to continuously burn you, for the love of god, PLEASE DOUBLE TEAM! try something different. UGH!!!!

 

Ability out of the timeout usually says more about the players involved and not the coach.

 

No he has money. Les Alexander paid him.

 

You've got Jeffries, a good defender, over on the bench with 0 fouls. Every other big man on the squad is in foul trouble. What do you do? Hooooonk!!! Wrong Rick, again!!

 

I addressed this issue in the Post Game Analysis thread. Adelman really gets on my nerves. I really think he could make better use of the players that he has and as to time outs on my word: when they are desperately needed, he rarely calls them, when they aren't, time out. Wrong players in at wrong times, no double team on the opposing team's hot scorer, I never understand him.

 

Rick is one stubborn motherlovemaker.

 

Actually its the best sign if the coach is a good in-game coach or not. Guys with X and O's pedigrees like Pops, PJ and Sloan always get their team to execute a smooth play out of timeouts. Coaches who suck at X's and O's don't know what to do out of timeouts, like the Cavs and of course us. If the execution is sloppy then that still falls on the coach, he should have made his players know what to do during practice.

 

Get Larry Brown to teach him some good Offensive plays

 

clowns the lot of you! no one with any basketball knowledge would do anything but praise adelman for his ability offensively out of timeouts. you guys are just blamers, coach haters no matter who it is. geez!

 

Sarcasm unlocked.

 

You have to be related or friends with Adelman. He did a poor job against Memphis. There is such a thing called defense. Help your guys out.

 

RiCKtheDiCK! do something ..

 

You are damn right, that fool! Why didn't he put himself into the court to help his players defend, especially after seeing his best defender being scored on with one Hail Mary after another?


To the OP:

You just picked the wrong game to make these judgments, our players did get suitable opportunities down the stretch or is it Adelman's fault that Martin and Aaron didn't make the good shots they took?

 

I dont mean to take the subject away from OP but Rick the D!ck has to be the worst coach on substitutions as well. He just doesnt understand the situaton. He alwast leaves the wrongs out and leaves the wrong guys in. He just cant get anything right.

 

Ding Ding!!

Of course! Thank you.

How can he get it right if he only has wrong players in the court and in the bench?

Last night loss was so much easier to swallow because the guys executed to get good shots, they just didn't happen to make them.

 

Great post!

 

They are getting wide open 3s. So sick.
