I think a lot of disagreements come from different viewpoints of the coach and player about his ability and role. I think RC was very good at assessing best roles for players.
I am a big RC fan but it is hard to ignore the importance of people skills. Every report confirmed or even strengthened my opinion that he is one of the greatest basketball minds that ever coached in the NBA. But they also highlight that he lost the connection to the locker room. Something that probably wasn´t his strong suit to begin with. Amplified by the loss of veteran leaders like Dirk and JJB.
I wonder if a transition to a front office position would have been an option for him?
