After the Steve Nash deal, none of these legends want to be on a staff.

He's only been nominated. Let him at least win it before you invalidate it.

 Cam played strictly on talent alone and improved because is was so terrible initially.  

Just so I don't clutter the 'Ask Supes' thread with coaching stuff, I'm posting this here:

And I'll just leave this here:

Some of the other things the staff has picked up on film include him playing too tall. For a player who is 6-foot-8, it’s sometimes hard to sit in his hips, especially when a player might not be used to it. That’s what this drill Pierce and Reddish were working on at the end of practice Wednesday was for. The coaches want him to drop his hips, activate his core and play lower. That’ll help him absorb and play through contact, which has been a struggle for him, too, as we’ve seen when he drives to the rim and is stripped or blocked.

 

And this...

Quote

What the coaches have seen with Reddish on film hasn’t matched what he has shown in practices, and that’s where they feel like the disconnect has been when it comes time to play.

The staff has noticed that Reddish, in practice, has his left foot anchored to the ground, and then he steps and follows through with his right foot in practice. A lot of Reddish’s shot attempts in games come with him hopping into his shot, which is not what he’s practicing, so he’s out of rhythm.

“Just to do that, he’s late reacting, and it’s over,” Pierce said. “It’s a different rhythm. If you shoot with a different rhythm than what you worked on, you’re going to get a different result. It’s studying little things like that. We studied this with De’Andre (Hunter). He’s shot ready, but sometimes (his follow-through is off), and sometimes he’s CJ McCollum, and he holds his follow-through. When you awaken a guy to something they might not even be aware of, and I don’t even think it’s something he’s been aware of. He’s hopping into his 3s, and all he does is work on his left foot down and step, step. These things take time. The readiness before the ball gets there is huge. Vince (Carter) is great at it. De’Andre Hunter is very good at it. Kevin Huerter is not great at it, surprisingly; he just has an easy release. Shot ready is not something (Reddish) is very good at.”

 

Quote

To smooth over the bumps of a rookie season, Reddish has been studying extra film with the coaches. He noted that the film has helped him slow down some of the plays on which he used to rush, while also helping him identify the spots where he can best find openings to score.  Reddish has also been going back to the practice court at the Emory Sports Medicine Complex at night for some extra individual work with assistant coach Melvin Hunt.

 

There's more, but why bother....

Did Bembry improve?  What about Prince? Huerter? Charlie Brown? Bruno? Fatso Spellman? Jones? Graham? Tyler Dorsey?

 

You know he's 'just a coach' and not a miracle worker, right?

Bembry - some guys just can't be helped.
Huerter - we've talked adnauseum about him, not rehashing, you can search the many posts for Huerter specific thoughts, but you blamed LP for Huerter's bad diet last offseason, so nothing new, just expected.
Bruno - my one wish was that Bruno played more minutes
Dorsey - played 27 games under LP averaging 9 minutes, then he was traded so I'm not surnohow that falls to Pierce.
Prince - do you know he actually had worse stats under your boy Atkinson this past season than he did under LP in his 1 season....mmmmmm
Jones - wonder why he didn't get better under Championship Coach Kerr in 3 years, but LP should work miracles. Got it.
Fatty Spellman - I guess it's LP's fault he couldn't keep Spellman from the late night refrigerator binges before he got traded, wonder why Kerr couldn't improve him either, he's now Minny's problem.
Treveon Graham - 22 games played, why don't you tell us what you would have liked LP to do? He was also with your boy Atkinson in Brooklyn, (before Minny) why didn't he improve him then.
GL player Charlie Brown? Who played 10 games averaging 4 mpg???? I don't know how to answer that.

 

Again, no one his calling Pierce the perfect coach. He is a 2nd year WIP coach. Just like our young core players, there are things he needs to work on to improve.

Actually there wasn't noticeable improve in Hunter's play or Cam's play except Cam's shooting. Everyone's defense never improved especially Prince. Prince's decision making was exceptionally bad under Pierce so was Bembry.

I could read stuff like this all day.

I know this is secretly a bash Pierce thread since praising him is not acceptable to the OP, but I love the attention to detail that LP has with these guys. 

Cam is going to look like a new players if he can drop his hips and also be shot ready more consistently.

Genuinely excited. Wish there were more vets to learn from too.

Have you been to his personal workouts with the team?  If so, please upload the footage of what the coaches are working on with him.  If no evidence,

What is it about this coach that have you guys attacking me to defend him when he is the one whose team have under performed?  Then your defense is his team is terrible.  When I criticize the GM , he is defended too.  This is strange at the very least.  There is some reason this team cannot compete with the like of Cleveland and Chicago.  Either the GM stinks or the coach.  In my opinion, both do

You're the one throwing out BS arguments and bringing up coaching in every other thread. You obvisously want attention so you got it.

Haven't attacked you once, but a lie is a lie.  You saying shit you can't prove. So there you have it.  If you don't like it block me.

The proof is 20 wins last year.  What more do you need to see?  The play of the team was terrible in many phases of the game Specifically defense, turnovers and rebounding.  The result have been terrible with this coaching staff period

Misleading. 20 wins when we didn't even finish the season and we were playing much better.

LP has been here 1.75 seasons. You act like he has had forever to turn around a rebuilding team. Even Bud only won 24 games his last season.

The team cant underperform when the expectations werent to win.

This is where you are off base. No where did the Owner, GM, Coach or anyone in the org say that we were supposed to be a winning team last year. That was on us, the fans, the outsiders.

Next season is different. They have been throwing around the playoff word a lot. They have set the expectations that its go time.

Why didn't the team try to win last year?  Were they tanking for a draft pick  nobody wants in this draft?  Were they trying to loose to attract free agents?  Losing on purpose last year made no sense so if that was the plan then Schlenks is not a good GM.
