To be fair we have paid him for no show jobs in the past so he we could reduce his salary. Also he has years of experience courtside.

Cousins never ever blitz the P&R and we Iced P&R. Thompson would sometimes blitz but he has pretty good quickness. No matter what form he used our starting 5 was #1 in defense by a wide margin

Mike Malone favored the "show" approach Golden State had leaned on for years. Darren Erman favored the "ice" style of coverage popularized by Thibodeau. In that scheme, a guard gets between the screen and ball handler as the big man drops toward the baseline, thereby forming a pocket of containment around the man with the ball.

Jackson, who had far from an ideal relationship with Malone, sided with the younger assistant and the newer model for defensive success. It was an approach especially beneficial to Bogut, who isn't best used as a guy who chases little guys around the 3-point line.

Of Erman's tenure, which ended in dismissal, Bogut recalled, "[Erman] was a big advocate on sending guys off pick-and-rolls and, to me, funneling to the basket. He was probably No. 1 pusher of that, as far as assistant coaches went. He saw my value there."

The Warriors went from 27th to 13th on defense with the new scheme and hamstrung Denver's offense in the playoffs, in large part because of Bogut's rim protection.

Did Malone blitz the P&R with Cousins in SAC? Would this even matter for someone like Vucevic who isn't known as a good rim protector?

Who do we target? WHO DO WE TARGET? Why are we talking about targeting? Henny is NEVER gonna fire Vaughn? Is he spineless?!?!?!?!

Thanks! Worries averted.

Not like it matters. We'll probably end up with some unknown.

I think I'm going to go with Alvin Gentry here, with Mike Malone second.

George Karl would be my favorite, but not sure if he is considering coming back.
