Throw all the money at Jay Wright

Yes

:insertritabensonmakingraingif:

That's a given.

Agreed. Would be a great NBA head coach.

Would be an excellent hire.


But I think Boogie going down gave Uncle Al a pass regardless if we make the playoffs or not

Saw similar people clamoring after Kevin Ollie after his title, pretending to know what coaching entails. So, enlighten me: What makes people so sure Wright would be a terrific NBA head coach?

Give me specifics. Don't tell me that he has won. Tell me about his system, his psychology with players and why that would transfer, the way he runs a coaches room, etc, etc

Some of the actual things that make NBA coaches difference makers. Or, just tell me he won and you have recency bias, the same way you did with Kevin Ollie.

I do not watch much college ball, but aren't his offensive philsophies similar to Finch in a lot of ways? Players say that they only have a handful of basic plays. He teaches offensive concepts and give the players the freedom to implement those concepts without set plays/actions. These cocnepts work to get players open on cuts and screens. Similar to Warriors, Pels, Lakers...etc offenses and very much in line with the positionless basketball trend.

Wright's offense is random and unscripted with lots of ball movement and cuts based on reading the defense much like Finch implemented in Denver and here. It also relies on versatile bigs, so his offense should be suited to the Boogie/AD pairing with both AD and Boogie having the requisite skillset to interchange between slot big and post big.

I think with the Pels he would suffer from the same roster construction problems we have had this year in that our penetrators can't shoot and our shooters can't penetrate.

Been waiting for Crewz to come blow this shite thread up

You have to convince Cousins to resign and who the coach is going to be certainly will be part of the equation. The last 4 "smart" coaches hired all seem like their doing pretty well, Stevens, Snyder, Atkinson and Brett Brown, but all of them went to places without the kind of expectations next year's Pels will have. It takes time to figure out how to be a head coach. And to be the Pels head coach you have to know how to get the most out of both AD and Jrue and Rondo and Cousins. I would imagine both sets of players require very different approaches and handling and the coach/player power dynamic between college and pros is completely different. It just seems like a pretty difficult situation to drop a coach with no NBA experience into.
