lol. there are a lot of players better than BG. His only real skill is jumping, he cant even post up an aging small forward.
He failed in his first stint as a coach in Denver. Nothing wrong with that. It happens. In Phoenix, he had Steve Nash directing a team that was overloaded with offensive players. From all appearances, there wasn't much coaching or discipline on either end of the floor. They ran ran ran ran. "7 seconds or less". Their half-court offense consisted of Nash dribbling the ball around until, rubbing off picks until he found someone open. Most people gave the credit to Nash. I'm one of them. Their defense was a complete joke and D'Antoni bears responsibility for that. Another thing about his time in Phoenix was D'Antoni was one of the most annoying coaches I've ever watched. You could hear his irritating, very loud voice pleading with and blasting the refs almost constantly even when he wasn't on the screen. He set a new standard for coaches whining. Sometimes it seemed like he was sitting behind a microphone. One more thing about the Suns: Amare had some issues and D'Antoni never addressed them. Too long to address here. D'Antoni was totally exposed with the Knicks. Without exceptional offensive talent, he failed big time and had no clue what to do. In LA, he seems to have learned from earlier experiences and is willing to adapt to players. Taking over after the Mike Brown firing was a no-win situation. His main problem became player & public relations. I give him credit for improving as a coach.
