I disagree with you
We could be so lucky!
only condition: we keep Chill as an assistant

He's totally overpaid. He's in a dumb contract that sucks for Portland. He won't get anywhere near that again because he is a flawed player. Mark it down, he'll be on $3mil 1 year contracts from here out.
The game, to me, seems to be trending towards "rollin' the ball out and seeing what happens". Now having said that, I fully believe sub patters and timeout usage are always going to be important, and that is a big aspect of coaching so there's that.
I just feel like the game is trending towards AAU+/NBA lite, and ultimately a coach will be a mere figurehead. The coach needs to be competent, correctly use timeouts and utilize the right lineups, but I'm seeing less and less coaching.
That's just my opinion and why I initially prefaced it with it being an unpopular one.
He's averaging near double figures for a playoff contender. He's even shooting near 40% from deep. Contracts keep getting bigger and he's only 27. He'll get another good sized contract.
I don't even know what that means. The NBA is heavily coached. Every team has a ridiculous amount of talent. Most are very well coached. What separates the best teams from the worst teams are a GM who can bring in the right mix of talent, a coaching staff who can best utilize the talent, and a total staff who can develop young players.
AAU+/NBA lite suggests that the best players in HS can just show up in the NBA and dominate after stopping over in college for a year. That's simply not true.
Karl Anthony Towns was a top HS prospect, made the Final Four in his one year of college, was the #1 pick, and won NBA ROY. He finally made his first All-Star team this year in his 3rd season. There are only a handful of players from the last 5 draft classes to be All-Stars and Giannis is the only one for whom this isn't his first All-Star game.
Teague posterized the Maryland player right before the ACCT during 2009, his sophomore year. We lost to Maryland in the first round of the ACCT, lost to CS, and Teague was gone. Ish couldn’t shoot. Period. I always thought Prosser should have gotten Ish to work with a shooting coach.
Wednesday night against Atlanta Ish had 22 points, 9 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 turnover.
And he's making $6 million a year.
He's done pretty well for himself.
yes, but does he own any hotels that he hasn't visited?

Boeheim - 72 - Oldest coach in Division 1
K - 70
Hamilton - 69
Larranaga - 68
Roy - 67
Changes are a-comin'!.
not sure......I'll ask him

At which point the opposing team would get called for a Flagrant II.
The more troubling piece to me is Strick and LD. Everyone knows and the stories are legend regarding Prosser's life coaching skills. So why have Strick and LD spent a decade on the basketball fringes and not out working a better paying corporate job? Or coaching? Is it not fair to put that on a Coach? And a player has to figure out that their college senior year is going to be their peek (or soph year in Strick's case). Not sure. Regardless, both guys had the personality to move quickly and efficiently into a sales type of job and earn more than the $40,000 year they are likely earning in the G league

Also, rumor is Kansas may be implicated in this FBI stuff. Talk about a big blue blood going down.
