I just remember the movie, Glory Road. I just watched it last February 2006 and first thing comes to my mind is that Don Haskins hates "showboater" (fancy dribbles, fancy plays, dunks, etc.) the same with Gregg Popovich. Defense, basic fundamentals, for them, is the key to win. Well, that's what I observed.

Is there a coach in the NBA that likes showboating?

Isiah Thomas seemed to tolerate it.

D'Antoni sat Robinson and ultimately traded him because he was showboating.

Unlike Haskins, Pop plays all the white guys he can find, and they have to be skilled in basic fundamentals because there's not any athletic ability to showboat. Thanks Pop!
