Give me a break.

Hrad to say as he hasn't had a set roster in all that time. The guy deserves to coach a time with a roster that's been together longer than 3 months for a change.

Its an interesting take no doubt. I wonder how He would have faired with the likes of Marbury? Getting ZDump into mix? Dealing with the locker room when the diva expirings were upset over treatment Gallo was getting? How could he have handled 127 players in 3 years?

Stevens might have been a good fit on the Pre Trade team but this is a team for an NBA coach.

He needs an owner who would buy into creating a unique pro environment and perhaps stability would be a priority.

I don't think asking about how any coach would handle Marbury is a viable consideration. The man was insane. Larry Brown is the most experienced coach in the history of the world. Did he handle Marbury well? D'Antoni, Calipari, the list goes on and on...he was bad enough he got kicked out of the league.

I think when a coach is even keeled, when he's prepared, that rubs off on the players. Read what Boozer said about Thibs. Thibs conducted the walkthrough himself the first day of practice. That was a small action that drew a lot of favor from the players. I think players are divas, but they also respond to the coach's personality. I think in a lot of ways his lack of sarcasm and ability to stay calm are going to take him a long way.

So essentially no positives. On the negative end of things posters have noticed an inability to make adjustmetns in game or in season. lack of emphasis on D. Overemphasis on 3 pointers and shots falling as the key to success. Alienation of players and lack of communication with players. Inability to motivate players. These have been observed despite different players and have extended to players that have stayed when others have left. This has held constant even when given the same roster for 3 months or more.
