2019-20 Around the NBA: Archived

[Mavs2019]

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.

True. Maybe it´s easier for the European players to adapt, because they are used to much worse. Having played for Obradovic, I doubt Carlisle could scare away Bjelica or Bogdan Bogdanovic. The American snowflakes on the other hand...

I like the idea of moving Nelson up in the infrastructure and making Doc the player recruitment GM. Obviously will never happen, but it would ne nice.
