I'm surprised I spelled it correctly

- he has never been a head coach, of any program, anywhere, ever; this means that he has never failed, but to answer your direct question: it also means he has never succeededWut
I mean there's plenty reasons why it could happen which have already been outlined. Might not work out that way but it makes perfect sense that it could.
What reason do you have to believe that it won't happen?
Byron isn't present, so that's an extra four or five wins automatically.
I have a feeling I know where this is going to go, but I'll wait and see and just answer your question.Thoughts on Steve kerr?
Interesting.Also I can't find it now but I read a blurb the other day pointing out that the VAST majority of championships over the past couple decades were won by coaches in their first NBA head coaching gigs. Like 80% type figures. The ones that weren't were basically Phil Jackson going back for seconds.
He didn't create it from scratch, true. But he had lots of GM and behind the scenes experience in between being done playing and stepping in to run the GSW.A program that he didn't create from scratch but altered during his first head coaching gig, with no prior coaching experience whatsoever and....with the help of luke Walton?
substitiute teacher =/= teacherThey went 39-4 under Walton..First time coaching in the NBA... Which even as a substitute, you have to make sure they execute, run practices, manage the rotations in-game, etc. It's vastly different than being a substitute teacher, which I have been.
If they lost 10-11 games under Walton, would anybody have been surprised if that's what happened. Regardless of the talent on the team? Because he's a rookie coach.
That at least something to be encouraged about.
I hope that's the case.I'm saying, he helped create/alter mark Jackson's program that you praise kerr for. His triangle knowledge was instrumental and a reason he got bumped up to lead assistant. He's not just some clipboard holder. Kerr had GM experience where he failed miserably, Luke has had actual coaching and player development experience on 3 different levels.
You're really selling him short.

Walton will not run the triangle offense as the Lakers' coach. It's not the "most appropriate" offense for personnel they have, he said.
I'm not talking about the 6 time champion Phil. I'm talking about Phil before the titles.
Touché CP prob was the only one around to hear Riley's complaints lol
