I would really love to see this happen. You see with TV getting more digital you have options like MSG Plus... that would be a GREAT option to be able to listen to the star player miced and the head coach also. I see them doing a little on TNT but it always seems like they only play a tiny bit of footage with the audio.. I want to see and hear a lot more i find it very interesting.
I understand the cursing and stuff makes it hard for TNT but since technology is improving on stuff like NBA League pass maybe they could offer it some how for over 18 viewers
thoughts?

I would have loved to have heard some of Isiah's inspiring coaching.
Things like:
"I know I called timeout but I don't really have a plan, I just wanted Doc to think I do. They scared now."
And
"Don't worry how many points they score, there's no more free pizza. Just play your game. And speaking of your game, don't run anymore plays, just have fun."
And
"I don't care if they're on course to win 60+ games and have swept us, until they win a championship they're no better than us. Lets let them blow us out this game so they underestimate us next time. They don't call me the baby face assassin for nothing."
And
"I'm not concerned if we score a historic low in points this game, they don't pay us by the point. We all get paid the same if we win 23 games or 63, and that's factorial."
And
"Don't mind the "fire Isaih" chants. Did you see what I did? I got Zach Randolf. So now we got a beast..."

I can definitely envision Isiah saying this one.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I've always wondered what goes on in a huddle around the coach during timeouts. I find it very intriguing. When TNT does give us slight glimpses, most of the coaches just say typical things normal fans like me and you would say. I think coaching is becoming more inspirational that it is mechanical (Xs and Os). That's not really a good thing however, as Magic Johnson once stated, "I think the players today are more athletic, but they don't play as smart." As a fan it would be a great privilege to witness what goes on in those huddles during every 20 second and full timeout. That way it gives us fans to see if the effort the coach is demanding is being displayed on the court.
