First off this is not a Steve Lavin ad hominem attack thread, lets be mature here.
LALALALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
Its a commentary of where we are now and where we need to be.
You have no idea where we were, no idea where are, and no idea how to get where we should be.
What I saw this season was St. Jean being the face of the in-game coaching.
Sorry, but you don't know little or nothing about basketball. Not your fault, you studied at the feet of Steve Lavin for five years. After that I'm surprised you can turn on your computer without breaking a bone. Here is someone who knows something about basketball explaining what coaching entails:
At times, Mullin sits in the huddle and directs his players, but he also has given St. Jean a prominent role in running practice and providing sideline instruction during games. That sometimes includes diagramming plays.
“Whatever we do, I tell him what I want written up, and he writes it up,” Mullin said.
“You do most of your preparation in practice. You can’t give these kids too much in a timeout. If you give them one thing and they remember it, you’re a genius.”
Mullin described the notion that Bird — and by extension himself — doesn’t know how to diagram a play as “comical,” and added that basketball really comes down to finding a way to put the ball in the basket.
“Larry would say, ‘Are you going to make a shot or what?’ That’s what it was. Period. Now, getting good looks, moving the ball, that’s the details you work on.
“To me, it’s like, Wow, they [media] really don’t know what happens in a basketball setting, do they? They think that a 30-second timeout is coaching. If you don’t know what you’re running and you’ve got to diagram it, you’re screwed.”
