Also, like many of you, I have been giving thought to the BT being bought
out. And it occurred to me that if Obie goes, it is unlikely he would be
replaced by a coach with a similar 3-point strategy, no-motion offense, etc.
Therefore, wouldn't many of our present players have to go as well since
a more "classic" coach would want to bring in more conventional players,
especially at PF and PG.
Not that Obie will be replaced any time soon, but.... I don't think such a
remake would be very difficult. For many, if not most of our players,
three-point shooting isn't their best skill. Guys like Delk, Bremer,
Pierce, and even Walker are much better at mid-range shooting. They're not
exactly Reggie Miller (in his younger days), Wesley Person, Craig Hodges,
or Steve Kerr. That's why it's so crazy that the game plan is to shoot a
lot of threes - we don't really have the personnel for it. I'd really like
to see Obie flesh out the reasons why he thinks it "gives this team the
best chance of winning" (Because that's what Toine wants, and he won't
cooperate otherwise?). Maybe someone will ask Dr. Jack that during his
next chat.
