    I agree with this, he does leave a lot to be desired in other areas still, but the players do like him and play hard for him, have to take what you can get

    Hey, didn't he have 3 steals tonight too?

    That's a good clip of he and Ham.

    That’s always what I come back to with him. This team could’ve easily thrown in the towel with our early start. Guys seem to genuinely like him and play hard for him.

    we can beef up the staff a bit around him this summer to help with some of his issues.

    As a motivator, near Phijax and Riles level. As a tactician, lesser than Luke Walton.

    Who's the head assistant coach? Jent or Handy? I do agree we probably need someone better there to help Ham.

    Credit to him for playing Bamba less on a bad night on both ends, he’s a really bad defender wow. Similar for Rui as well, not a good matchup for him.

    Amazing what a better coach he’s become since Rob took some of his favorite toys away from him with the tough love GM approach. They can’t meddle per his contract ;) …. so they just reconfigure his team with 6 new players so even Darvin can’t f*** up the rotations. ;) ;) ;)

    No complaints from me once he showed he was smart enough to start Vandy and willing to bring Dennis off the bench.

    After that 2-10 start, this team has almost always, been in a position to win games, in the second half. Regardless of who is playing. Maybe he's not as clueless as some people think.

    He's got them motivated. No getting around that after tonight's showing, coming back from 27 down to win the game.

    I'm not sure about no complaints... That first quarter O was crap.

    He plays with fire leaving AD in there when the game is decided. Almost blew out his knee.

    Would’ve been nice to have a 7 foot shot blocker with a 7’6 wingspan to contest some of Morant’s floaters in the 3rd quarter. Oh, wait…
