Being a good head coach is much different than being a “good coach”. There are a ton of good coaches who can develop players, or good at coaching defense, or good at coaching offense… but would make for less-than-stellar head coaches. Darvin Ham, for example, is seemingly a “good” coach particularly defensively. I think he leaves a LOT to be desired as a head coach, but this is his first year. I could list a whole bunch of head coaches in football that are better as coordinators or positional coaches. So yeah, you can be a good coach but a bad head coach. And yes, there is much more to coaching than calling timeouts which is why you can be a “good coach” and not a good “head coach”, starting with in-game adjustments. You’re making my point for me jeenus. Yes, I also understand that a bunch of Stotts dick riders say that same thing, when he was obviously trying to get a job, because he was interviewing when called upon. I would also say he didn’t get a head coach position this year. If he was so in-demand, why not? Didn’t even get an interview this go around, why not? Anyway, might as well not respond because I’m done with this thread. I stand by my position. Only fucking morons think Terry Stotts is anything more than a mediocre-at-best “head” coach. Hope he gets another “head” job so we can see how he does. Peace ✌
According to you I'm one of those "morons" ...what a bullshit statement by you. You're welcome to your opinion but spare me the condescension. Choices...you're calling every player he coached morons as well as me...he was loved by his players and they played hard for him...his win loss record in Portland should make you hate Chauncey by now.
In the history of the NBA there were only 346 head coaches. Of these 346 head coaches, Terry is #35 in total wins and #34 in total games coached. Again, not the greatest coach ever by any stretch of the imagination, but people are really underrating his record and ability to extract performance from sub-optimal rosters.
I sure don't miss Stotts but sure would be nice if we still had a GM who didn't have Lame's cock all the way down his throat
Sounds like Garland wants to be a lead guard so they probably have to trade him or Mitchell. Allen and Mobley also clog up the middle so it's probably better to trade one. They should be able to get some very good wings back in trades so if Stotts did coach them it would be more talent than he ever had in Portland except possibly just before Wes Matthews achilles snapped.
Leading candidate for dumbest post of all time. The guy only got us to the playoffs how many times??? And comparing a good human being like Terry Stotts to a pile of human shit like Tucker Carlson is just plain stupid (and wrong) on so many levels. Very glad you aren’t part of Trailblazer management.
Maybe I should have put it in green font. I was merely comparing their abilities to rock a bow tie. Please, calm down.
I got the similarity right away. Also, Stotts has the furrowed eyes and mouth shape which Tucker likes to make, when pretending to look alarmed and not understand what he opposes. Thanks, Americon. Edit: Hmm, Amiricon. Like an Arab amir. I get it. I was quickly reading it like American.
