Re: THIS IS WHAT OUR YOUNG TEAM NEEDS!!!

["Jaims" <jaims@impactnet.com>]

It's not a matter of coaching stiffs or veterans...that's not my point.  My
point is that a coach like Bird, a calm but strict and professional style
always gets more respect and gets more success in terms of motivating his
charges.  Well, on the other hand, a loud and screamin like freak coach gets
tuned out because the player-coach/teacher thing gets stale because of the
constant yelling which in effect degrades the players abilities and
instincts to run the team inside the court.

I don't know, man.  Calipari and Carlisimo could have learned  now that
their style, which is college style(scream at your troops to guide them) is
not for the NBA.  Pitino should also know better.

Thanks for the input anyways.

Later dude.
