of course thibs is a better coach than casey, but this year casey is doing as good of a job as thibs is.
its just that when it comes to coaching, if a coach is seen as a good coach then every time the team does something good fans will give tons of credit to the coach
if a coach is seen as a bad coach then fans will ignore the good things and only blame the coach for all the bad things that happen to the team
pop threw away a free ring last year because he didnt have duncan in but no one talks about that because hes seen as a good coach.
thibs is doing the same thing casey is doing this year but thibs gets all the credit while casey gets none because thibs is seen as a good coach
we have always had problems defending the pick and roll, phil was never able to get fisher + pau to stop it and pgs always destroyed us. fans blamed fisher for being a bad defender because phil is seen as a good coach
we cant defend a pick and roll with even slower kendall marhsall and even older pau gasol but fans want to blame it on dantoni because dantoni is seen as a bad defensive coach
when it comes to the way fans view coaches there is always a huge double standard
