Sure great coach, his old man pissed at the world attitude is terrible. Guy gets paid millions of dollars to coach a game and he can't even give a proper interview without being a douche. His schitck is played out

I do find him annoying. We get it. The press asks stupid questions, but you don't have to act like a cheese dick about it.

I'm totally ok with him giving a jackass answer to a stupid question, but lately he has been doing it even for good questions.

Pop has definitely been more grouchy this season than normal...

Yep, like I said in the other thread I had no idea how much of a whiner he was until this last year or so. He's acts like a baby. Damn good coach, but the shtick is old.

IMO they shouldn't be asking coaches anything about the game until its over. I wouldn't be too happy to answer in game questionnaires either.

As everyone has said, he's certainly a great coach, but I have a poor opinion of how he handles the press. You have to be a fairly unpleasant person to enjoy creating an environment where people are almost afraid to do their jobs.

Do they often ask inane questions? Of course, but having to come up with new questions every single night isn't easy, I would imagine.

It's even worse when he does his thing, following a legitimate question.

I think Craig Sager's death hit him pretty hard.

Considering he was nothing but a dick intentionally to embarrass sager in front of national audiences nightly you think it would make him reevaluate things not double down.


Pop is an a-hole

I appreciate his consistency in being an a-hole. Most people would have turned a new leaf by now.

The interviews are unimaginably bad but it's part of his job so he needs to do them with a smile on his face. The guy is a legend but he's also an a-hole.

It's nice to see the MSB coming around on this. The dickhead act was cute for a year or two, but it's old now.

And I don't want to hear him blast off on politics. Stick to coaching and whining about sketchy close-outs by Zaza.

A guy asked him if he thought going smaller earlier would have helped in OKC series after game 6. He was visibly annoyed and sarcastically asked the guy if he was a coach now or something.

If by "something" you mean "whining like a little bitch on a consistent basis for the last 7 months"
