Sorry about that. It was a (very poor) play on the Albany (NY) Patroons, a CBA team PJ coached back in the day.
Sometimes I feel like the blazers wasted some great opportunities a few years ago. I wonder what an actual good coach could have done with this team back then?
Is he still known as a "defensive" coach? I remember the Lakers wanted to bring him in as an assistant in that role.
Gosh! What ever prompted you to start this thread? Did you ever see the game this man put on the floor? I should imagine everyone is familiar with it now, hard to imagine wanting your team to play that game.
Notice that the teams that have hired have all hired no-name assistants. Or Larry Drew. They know they're not going to win, so they're going cheap. He will be considered for the better jobs. We didn't like his style, but he was pretty successful until a couple of malcontents led an insurrection against him. Kobe Bryant likes him.
The only season the Blazers had what I would call real success was 2008. You think we beat the Rockets in the first round if we had a better coach? Like let's say you could replay that series with Nate coaching the Rockets and Adelman coaching the Blazers.
I don't think ISO ball was part of 1953 basketball. I'm thinking it was more along the lines of what Ralph Miller ran at Oregon State.
I was referring to the pace of Nate's offense - milking the clock on every possession. It reminded me of the pre-24 second clock days. BNM
I can get him a job right now coaching next year's S2 Blazer Forum city league team. (sponsored by Motrin and Oxygen Plus)
Pistons coaching search is down to McMillan and Cheeks. With Dumars favoring Cheeks according to reports. Yeah, I'm sure Sarge is waiting around for his dream job.
First Minnesota, now Detroit. We're finally getting payback on the rest of the league for our nightmare stretch post-Dunleavy!
