If/When the Axe Falls : Interim Head Coach Poll

[raptors999]

Would Kyle and DeMar even listen to any of these coaches if they told them to stop playing selfish and pass the ball more, including to their big men

The assumption is they like losing and are both uncoachable

Considering Kyle did that last year, yes to Kyle.

Completely unsure about DeMar though.

[DDelight]

DeMar wasn't playing the way he's playing now last season. His assists went up after Rudy was traded. Team USA and being selected for the all star team clearly has gotten to his head. Same for Lowry with all the all star hype.

Somehow we need a coach, whether Casey or someone else to bring them back down to earth and let them know they're best when they include everyone in the offense

[godkingleonidas]

I suspect KL's inability to pass is symptomatic of his inability to see over his defender. DeDe's spent the offseason working on his handles but, he's got to work on his court vision/awareness too. Is he unwilling or unable to pass the ball? I suspect it's the latter more than the former. SG's don't normally have to facilitate offenses but, when you're PG is Bogue 2.015, you're going to need a Glen Rice/Kendall Gill type backcourt player to compensate for his deficiencies.

what????? since when does KL have the inability to pass? most PG's are pretty damn short. one of the best passers in the game was only 6'1 (stockton).

if height was the issue, then vasquez should be passing shit all over the place.

If/When the Axe Falls : Interim Head Coach Poll

If we must be serious in a topic that is about as likely as a black polar bear entering your living room in the next 20 seconds, nurse would be the man.

Actually polar bears are just regular bears who, through evolution developed white fur to better hunt their prey

That being said, sterner is my choice

[Mr.Z]

I'm going with Sterner, guys fuckin O.G.

Being a developmental guy he could be a good teacher and teach these guys how to play properly

Ron Adams is supposedly a proponent of hands on teaching. I'm kinda surprised a team hasn't tried to hire him as HC. Everywhere he's gone he's been loved apparently.

Put him on the list for potential HCs.

How anyone could choose anybody besides Tom Sterner is beyond me.
Get him to share some of his coke and we'll be running guys out of the gym!

Part of the reason why Kyle can't/doesn't run the PnR with Jonas is he is vertically-challenged.

EDIT: Stockton wasn't being defended by 6'6"/6'7" point guards. And he didn't take nearly as many shots as Lowry.

There are also size issues with Lowry. While he supposedly grew an inch between his freshman and sophomore seasons and is now listed at a respectable 6’1, he doesn’t appear to be quite that tall. Lowry’s lack of size really hurts him right now, as he isn’t an outside threat and defenders are free to sag off and focus on altering his finishes at the rim. Proving himself as a jump shooter changes everything, but if Lowry measures in under 6’0, his stock could take a bit of a hit.
