yeah he was too inexperienced. Most coaches start as assistants first...he didnt and he probably should have

It's a moot point! Phil KNEW Fish was raw but he wanted that! He likes his talent and is willing to live with some early struggles. Pat Riley dealt with Sporlstra's early struggles cuz he liked his talent.

it isnt a moot point. I think fish CAN be a good head coach someday but he still looks too green right now.

It's moot because there is no D League we can send Fish too. He's gonna have to learn on the job. Fish is gonna grow at the same time as our players! This is how Phil wanted it and there's no denying that. Phil KNEW Fish was raw and said he wanted to groom him.

I don't know if there's been a single game all year where we've gotten the benefit of the calls.

I have finally gotten a chance to watch the Sixers. They fight and are scrappy. That could be a trap game.

It would be the Knickiest thing of all-time if we give them their first win of the season. Sigh. That'll probably be what happens.

We're gonna have to deal with this in addition to players having ups and downs too. It's all part of the process IMO! They will grow together as a team.

Phil will have to help as GM and as a helper to Fish as a coach.

i wish phil could be on the bench. He is far better as a coach obviously

Phil wouldn't coach this roster in 100 years - he knows it's crap.

I agree. That s ridiculous. Especially for a team that plays d like the heat.

how about his assists? How can you be such a bad passer at guard?

his shot which has been good in his career has looked absolutely terrible.
