It literally doesn’t matter. If you think coaching is only about the X’s and O’s then go spend thousands of dollars on licenses, listen to some of the best minds in the world in sports, and come back and talk to me. I’ll also mention I did work as a quality control assistant for for an FCS team that is now an FBS team for coaching experience. 50% of the time was focused on X’s and O’s, the other 50% was countless other things. I’ve literally sat in a positions team room with a former Panthers player who is now a coach and we had this same exact conversation. People tend to forget that these are games that grown adults are playing and there is only so many ways you can play. There is overlap in every system and as adults these players don’t have to be taught much, they’ve already learned it in college. That’s why Rhule is a good coach at the college level, he can teach the game. Bottom line is these are NFL players they don’t need to be taught. He’ll lose the team if he continues to treat them like children. His downfall is going to be his ego, manipulation, and his integrity. College football coaches are known to be some of the most egocentric coaches because they are treated like royalty by their fanbases and they have to manipulate young kids to get them to join their team. If he continues to treat these NFL players the same way he treats college kids then he’s going to get the Chip Kelly treatment (which is a great comparison for Rhule).

You can know football and be a shitty person, Nick Saban and Dabo Swinney are the poster children for that movie. The difference is they can get away with taking to young kids like that but grown ass men eventually get tired of it, especially when money is involved. You can’t treat and coach college players the same way you treat and coach adults. You can also be the best coach in the world but if your character is shitty then you will lose your team. We have portions of the team playing well but it’s not amounting to success, that’s on your coach. The team is not together right now… hopefully Cam can help fix that but that is on Rhule. I don’t coach football but I do coach soccer at a high level and hold a ton of licenses, there’s much more that goes into coaching then just knowing the game. At the end of the day, the X’s and O’s amount to less than 50% of what makes a successful coach. That’s why some people who know the game can’t hack it.

Matt Rhule is a piece of poo, always has been. When he left Temple he literally told the media that he’d rather coach at Temple then to “sell his soul” for money… he then bolted to Baylor. When he left Baylor his players heard about it through the media and he sent out a group wide text… Dude is a used car salesman and only looks out for himself. Say what you want about Rivera, at least the guys wanted to play for him… that’s half the battle. In a perfect world Cam balls out and Tepper realizes that Rhule was a piece of poo all along and cans his ass to get a coach in here that really that wants to work with Cam.

This is me right now. Just got home and checked the score… Oubre outscored Rozier, Bridges, and Ball combined and we won… damn.

Any update on the new player you posted about on Twitter?

Some are saying that this is the generic version but the actual version will have more details… not sure.

Refs took a possession away from us but overall I’ll give credit to the team for fighting back. The starters really stepped up tonight but our bench provided nothing. It was also nice to see us finally go zone.

Headed to OT.

LaMelo with the triple-double: 23 points, 12 boards, 10 assists

We’re still a 10 seed team unfortunately.

Borrego is going to lose this team.

Geeze another one at the buzzer… this team blows.

LaMelo is officially on triple-double watch. 16-8-8 and counting.

Please be back Terry.

End of quarters have been an experience with this team.

Forever giving up three’s at the end of the quarter.

Hahaha true. Not many guys have the stamina to just keep running like those guys. It’s actually comical trying to watch Hayward keep up sometimes. It does occasionally create a nice shot at the top of the arc on the secondary break though.

LaMelo is a menace when he’s out and running, it’s a shame our team can’t hold up with his play style. Not that any other team could either.

I’d like to see Richards get some burn with the first team. I think he runs the floor better than Plumlee and unlike Plumlee he he doesn’t try to bring the ball up the court. I feel like LaMelo could hit him for some easy lobe.

Defense has been okay to start the game but we aren’t knocking down threes like we usually do.

Carmelo always lights us up. Man could be in a wheel chair and still drop 50 on us.

Still giving up wide open threes… luckily they’ve been missed so far.

Richards has looked solid. Excited to see what he can do with additional minutes. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was a 10P/7R/2A guy.

Graham is averaging 16.5PPG, 5.2APG, 3.1RPG, 1.5SPG. He’s also shooting 37% from the field and 35% from three. This is in 32MPG. Rozier may very well end up averaging 20+PPG by the end of the year but is four extra points per game worth an additional $7M per year? We’d have definitely had a chance to land Holmes if we kept Graham instead of Rozier.

That’s become a huge issue. Not to mention, most of his fouls are pointless fouls.
