Karl didn't have any inbounds plays drawn up for coming out of timeouts so Chauncey drew something up for the team. It reaffirmed my belief that George Karl sucks as a coach and made Chauncey seem like an okay guy. haha
That was Karl's offensive philosophy tho. He wasn't big into play calling. He was all about Random Basketball. Sort of like Rick.
I'm assuming that's why most of the long time assistants for Rick were also long time assistants for Karl. Lots of similar core concepts.
Karl wasn't the perfect coach but he was an incredible coach. Completely adaptable too. He was a grind it out defensive minded coach for years. Later in Denver he one of the coaches a bit ahead of the time with the offensive concepts.
