This guy is good at screaming and drawing circles and arrows on the screen, but has no clue otherwise.
Stopped watching when he proclaimed to let the player drive to the middle as there's help defence. You never open up the drive to the middle, you force offence to the wing and help closes down the zone from the middle (which was late in this case, so the mistake was on the help defender not the onball defender).
In general i think the defensive concept the Mavs coaches want to play is too complex for the players they have on the pitch (or maybe even in general). When it works, it's suffocating, but it regularily collapses resulting in fairly easy points for the opponent. So they should take a realisitc look at the roster and their lineups and determine if they can be coached up or if they need to dump down the system. Playing a system that the players can't execute is bound to fail.
