Just sayin, Doc does have something Carlisle doesn't have, and that's an ability to connect with players. Doc is a player's coach through and through.
No way he'd ever take an assistant role but boy he'd be the perfect foil to Carlisle. Carlisle runs the X and O's, Doc rallies the team. What a combo that'd be.
RC is the coach. Make Donnie the head of the scouting department. I don´t lke Doc but his recruting skills are beyond any doubt. So he gets the GM job. While we are at it. Bring back Casey and Stotts and also add Jerry West to the MBT.
Honestly suprised that no team ever collected the best coaching talent in the league. There is no salary cap for the coaching staff. The richest owner could simply overpay Pop, Stevens, Spoelstra, Nurse and RC and let them fight it out. Not sure about the outcome but it would be fun to watch.

I need players that are intense and not having to worry about getting in the dog house if they pick up a foul by playing aggressive defense. It seems like they can start out the season on fire and then slowly, but inexorably trend downhill for the rest of the season. A recent example is Delon Wright. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like I remember him being really aggressive and effective at the start of the season on both offense and defense, but just seemed to become more tentative and passive as the season went on. Maxi also seems to have lost a lot of his early mojo. I've just never been much of a RC guy; I've tried to, but I just can't help it.(09-28-2020, 08:18 PM)khaled1987 Wrote: There is a strong theory here that players don't like RC, which honestly I think it is far from the truth.
I don't think Mavs players dislike RC. But on average, RC has had more dustups with players than Doc has ever had.
And that's solely because Doc doesn't confront and push his players. He's a players coach, and lets his superstars do their thing. RC will tell you to do it his way or to go to the bench. That kind of coaching rubs some players the wrong way.
There have been countless of stories of players either voicing their displeasure with some of RC's choices, or the players themselves going to RC to have him change his mind. It's not new. I didn't think pointing that out would be controversial.

Speaking of apparently Cuban just picked up West in a gas station in Dallas and is trying to get him into rehab. Crazy events for this dude. I pray he gets better.
