re: To all Gentry bashers

I challenge, even the Gentry defenders, to go down the list of NBA head coaches and tell me which ones you wouldn't take over Gentry.

They're a damn liar if they come up with any more than 4, maybe 5. I only have one, Boylen in Chicago.

Here’s a thought experiment, why isn’t the Carlisle 13-6 Mavericks, or the 17-3 Lakers cribbing our system?

Okay. Because they have two of the best shot creators (and 19/20 MVP candidates) in the entire world leading their offenses. If Gentry had LeBron or Luka and was taking the ball out of their hands, then he should be fired on the spot.

that Gentry, despite 15 years of knowledge about the Suns system and pace and space analytics, is still the only coach that sees the light?

So you dont realize basically the entire league has cribbed principles from the SSOL Suns for their offenses. Cool. Your posts make a lot more sense now.

Implying his roster needs to be catered to to maximize it’s output, that the roster shouldn’t be expected to cater to the system.

Carlisle has a system. You're deluding yourself if you don't believe that. He has run players out of town that didn't fit.

Has he adjusted to allow Luka to do what he does? Obviously. But JJ Barea is still there and running the same shite he's been running since 2011.

The myth of the coach who changes identity on a whim is absurd. You toss it out like it is common when what you are really pointing out are tweaks/adjustments to a system.

Now, the argument that Gentry is poor at adjusting his tactics to better fit his team is a winning one.
