Dude is a perfect fit. Smack my forehead. Should have thought of that seriously before. Insider, teacher, charm, smaaaarrrrttttt. Works with egos, works with game plan, works on camera. Dude would be a serious upgrade, instant credibility. Could even make THIS mismatched parts team play up to its talent.
I'd rather have Gene Wilder Seriously, did everyone hear Van dog Steve for commiting a foul with .3 seconds left in the quarter? I think he's a great "homer" analyst but that had to be said and he said it. j
Van Channceleleor showed that people from Miss. our smart. He knows the game very well. Maybe he can be an assistant for the Rockets!!!! And then head coach of the Comets?!? THAT WOULD BE SWEET. New idea. I like him. He's not awesome. But sounds like a good coach.
i kinda like this idea.. yo les whats up wit dat???? we need to have a second row of benches for our coaches... kinda like that other team
Van is awesome... you underestimate him. Dude can flat out coach. Remember when the nag league started - Swoopes was the poster girl with leslie and buckteeth? Chancellor got her to swallow her ego and defer to Coop. Dude understands egos, dude understands winning. He also got Swoops her touches - he had plays for Coop, plays for Swoops, plays for Tina Thompson, and won 4 times with three different kinds of guard. He ran his strengths and defeated the Sparks and Liberty - denying their best players and game plan. This guy can work with the team he gets and find the best plan to get the most out of everyone. He's ten times the coaching mind of Rudy, and can sell that homespun Miss-sippi crap all day long with little Nikko and anecdote central. Dude would own the other team and get our whiney b****es in line. Team him with the NBA's first female assistant coach (C. Miller?)and you have guaran-teed dyke-central sellouts, good plays, teamwork, respect, tv-glad-handing, and wins, baby, wins. Kick Rudi upstairs and let Van work.
Obviously, you haven't been around the populas of North Carolina and Mississippi much. I had a grade school teacher from N.C. once. During a spelling test, we had the words are, our & hour. We missed oil 3 words, because it sounded like he pronounced them the same! By the way, try all & oil on for size two!
Problem. Chancellor has been coaching women for over 25 years. He knows how to talk to them. He knows how to push their buttons. One thing he doesn't know how to do is coach spoiled, rich, grown men that have attitudes if you are strict with them. Not sure if the men players would accept him. Yes, Chancellor would bring discipline. We've become too soft mentally. We give up when it gets tough. And we start choking when we miss a few layups. Chancellor would bring an end to that if the players agreed to have a strict coach. Chancellor works a bootcamp style training. No joke. Just ask Swoops and Thomson. One of his philosophies is that practice sessions should be HARDER than real games. The Bulls used that method. Jordan demanded it. No babies allowed in Chancellors practices.
I'm sure there are plenty of men's high school coaches who have had success, let's start calling them up.
I have been thinking this for a good while. He seems like an excellent coach to me. Hes got Rudy beat 4 rings to 2, hes somewhat already inside the organization, and I dont think he could do any worse than say...Larry Smith.
People, please, Women's game does not equal men's game. Have you ever seen a coach in College make this switch. No, there's a reason, there two different games X's and O's wise, and dealing with players also. The idea is ridiculous.
