Congrats on your new coach! He's a great guy and he really really really cares about how close the locker room is and how all of the players love each other in that locker room so you guys will have a very tight team.

What do I mean by this? Whenever he was asked tough questions in Orlando he would always flip the script to how close the locker room is and that's all that matters while avoiding the hard questions. I lived through it for 5 years

Best of luck with this dude

We had this with Willie Green.

Did he say give the other team "credit" alot?

Did he struggle to talk basketball adjustments

I did not have a problem with in game coaching decisions.. sure, some stupid substitutions here and there but that's not what bothered me

Well actually, now that I think about it.. we always blew games coming out of halftime.. for example, we would be up by 20 points at half and come out of halftime allowing teams to go on a 20-0 run.. this did happen an awful lot of times during his term

What bothered me was how and what he did outside of the games and in practices, etc. He was just too damn soft but never held players accountable for being lazy.. coming into a new season very out of shape, etc etc etc.

Since this is mostly a football forum.. to put things into perspective.. imagine having a decent in game coach but allowed his players to jerk around and do jack shite during spring and weekly practices and just allowed them to run the asylum

Paolo (one of our best players) couldn't stand him because he was too soft of a coach and his practices, conditioning, discipline, etc was severely lacking and when dealing with basketball players at that age, they need some sort of discipline and accountability outside of games

Good thing the Pelicans don’t have any lazy fatasses on the team then…

As expected.

They hired Willie Green 2.0.

At least with Willie nobody knew what we were getting as a coach before he failed. We skipped that stage and just went to the failed version

Maybe God will be the enforcer on the team
