MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt| DLive's Mom Passes Away| DLive Makes All Rookie 2nd Team

It seems foolish to knee-jerk about a coaches’ worthiness or unworthiness based on a single game, a single series. It sure feels like that’s what happened with Darvin Ham and Adrian Griffin this season.

Now, we fans base our perceptions on massively incomplete data, as well. A coaches’ demeanor on the sideline. Rumors about how he treated a specific player. A not-very-well-thought-out comment at a press conference. And, if our team is losing, we’re critical of anything we’ve ever heard about them.

But most of the time, we really lack the necessary information to fully evaluate a coach’s performance. Did he really get the most out of his team’s potential? Did he put his players in the best position to win? Really hard to know.

The fact that the team gave him an extension says that he’s doing at least an adequate job. Historically, Cuban has favored continuity. 

It’s easy to get disillusioned with someone, and look for the next shiny thing that we hope can improve us. But the cost of making a change can be really high, also.

Isn’t Doc Rivers a much more experienced, much better coach than Adrian Griffin?

Where's the knee jerk ? Not saying he's a bad coach. I'm just saying I would have waited, and I'm standing on that. Kidd still has much to prove as far as I'm concerned. He got the team to the WCF a few years ago, but I get leery sometimes of his coaching decisions. Maybe they extended him to keep the Lakers from inquiring about him. I don't know. And Rivers coaching hasn't been relevant since 08 with Boston. Rivers is the king of blown 3-1 leads. He hasn't got it done at LAC, and Philly.
