    I think Beno does too, but that doesn't make him a Coach either.

    I've never coached basketball in my life, which is why it's so frustrating that I could do a better job with the rotation than the current coach of the Spurs.


    That's what you're driving at, right? I guess Kurt Cobain is a better guitar player than Bugs Henderson because he's sold more records.
    I wasn't driving at anything, from a couple of people's posts I was wondering if they had any experience coaching, and if anyone else did as well. I've got news for you, you couldn't do anything better than Pop when it comes to coaching.

    Cobain and Henderson both at least at some time knew how to play guitar, right? Bad comparison by you. I'm smart enough not to claim to be a better engineer than the people at NASA, mainly because I've never worked or had any experience as an engineer at any time in my life. Looks like you should do the same when it comes to coaching.

    Kurt Cobain isn't a better guitarist than Bugs Henderson but he's certainly a better songwriter

    Good point. And we shouldn't let anyone vote unless they've held office.

    Everyone and their mothers knew that this was your point when you started this thread.

    Like anything in life, there is more to a job then meets the eye. In a position of authority in any job, you have to get others to do what you want done, just like coaching.

    In some jobs it is imperative to motivate others to get that extra 10% out of them, just like coaching.

    In some jobs you have to put the best face of a bad situation and bad face on a good one in order to maintain the focus needed to get a job done, just like coaching.

    In the course of doing a job, you have to overcome obstacles that were, seconds before, unknown. It is often the person that first identifies the problems' job to work around it and accomplish the goal, just like coaching.

    Now, what Pop does, most likely, do better then most of us is the X's and O's of basketball. It doesn't take a genius to know who the best players on the floor are, nor does it take a genius to see that a team is better or worse with particular players on the floor then others.

    I have no doubt that Pop knows what he doing (He is preparing the team for those "Plan B" scenarios when "Tall Ball" doesn't workout). I also have no doubt that the average fan can look at how these line-ups do against a non-playoff eastern team and equate their performance to how they would do against the top teams in the west.

    This board would be a VERY BORING place if only those that are in the shoes were allowed to criticize.

    I'm actually Isaiah Thomas. Why? Do you have a big load of highly-price crap you're looking to trade? I'm sure I can pull some strings.
    If Isaah looks as great as your avatar I'll become gay

    I actually "channel" Red Auerback when I'm writing posts. That's why I seldom criticize coaching or GM decisions.

    I know that we should win every game if the players simply follow the game plan of the coaching staff. It's the player's faulty execution that loses games.

    Hey! Come on, people...maybe ManuMagic has a point.

    How many of us can really talk about how Ron Washington managed his first game against the Angels last night other than a poster who has led a McAllen Rowe HS baseball team to a 6-12 record in his fourth season?
