This has already been discussed but I wanted to do a poll.

Both choices are nearly accurate. These players would be hard to coach. However, we got the lamest of the lame when it comes to coaches: the one guy that doesn't realize that buddying up with the players won't make them work hard. He's also continually emphasized the wrong things. So his coaching has been disappointing. At the same time, the roster we have stinks and is the most uncomplimentary pile of garbage...

so my vote is to blame the coach, since he's not also the coach, but also the GM, and very much at fault for all the issues the team has.

I gave him a lot of credit as a coach and I liked what he said he inteded to do with the team, but THIS YEAR, he's really stunk. He seems to have no clue how to get this team in position to win. I see so many things that could be done during the game and LOT that doesn't seem to be done in practice. When you see a guy like Jamal continually go under the pick instead of fighting over it, you have to say that is coaching. How can it be that this hasn't been fixed by now? It's the little things that all add up to a sloppy performance.

Its not isiah's fault, or maybe it is- I don't think he is a bad coach- he did a better job last year.

example of bad coaching: marching Q out every night. Not trying to tweak the starting five to achieve better balance between our energy guys (the guys that try) and our skills guys (the overpaid, one dimensional offensive guys)

Another example of bad coaching- the constant whining about the fans causing eddy to miss lay ups.

This players should not play together.
Most, if not all of them, are not starter material but they get paid like supperstars.
But they are starting and getting this money only because IT collected this bunch.
As per coaching - Isiah is avarage at best and with Isiah GM on his back Isiah coach totaly broke.
