LZ Granderson does a nice job of encapsulating all of the adversity this team has endured this season and names Nate COY. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/commentary/news/story?id=4989056 and ... I'll admit Nate's rotations and stubbornness drive me crazy, and the way he managed the squad at the start of the season when mostly everybody was healthy made me want to pull my hair out, but I'll give him credit where it's due; when his teams are stretched thin and put under duress he finds a way to get wins. Of course if he does win COY this year it pretty much guarantees he gets fired next season, so at lest MM should be happy
So, that means McMillan's coaching was nothing special before this year -- simply following expectations for a young team with talent -- and he's done a better job this season, to the tune of COY nomination, despite the team's decline in performance? Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
