The culture to build continuous group of coach's with a philosophy of ball movement and defense from the D-league thru the parent team COULD yield a team where players come here knowing their role and paid accordingly.
This is what SAS does and succeeds to keep its core three happy to be there and play below market value because of the level of professionalism and consistency. Players come and go but a core group, with a core system yields good things. Coach's will be hired away and players will also come and go.
We are very early in the process. Pop in SAS has the cred to do it. Phil has the cred as well. Larry Brown had it but clashed with Isiah. It was a stupid move. Isiah diluted his vision (if there was one) and Brown was not allowed to do his thing. Both failed.
No guarantee's phil will succeed either but I get the blueprint. If some of you don't see It read his books. Enjoy the process and each game. Lets hope this is the beginning of something good. An 8th seed would be a huge success for this team!
