Rambis as a School Teacher 

Post#1 » by Klomp » Sun Nov 1, 2009 5:16 am

What kind of school teacher would Kurt Rambis have been?

He's one of those guys who has to be right. Somehow he's going to figure out he was right. Even if it's 1 percent out of 100 percent, he's going to figure out that one little inch where he was right. That's what makes him a unique person.

You can be completely wrong, but when you're the head coach, everything you say is right.

As you're learning, that's huge so that you don't put up that defense wall right away, so that when the teacher's talking, you don't hear the Charlie Brown voice. When Kurt talks, you hear his message clear because it doesn't feel like you've got your guard up.

You reach them all in different ways. They don't all respond the same. They don't all learn in the same way and at the same pace. You have to be patient, but you have to be persistent.

Yea kind of weird.

If you re-watch the Cavs game you see Flynn exit the game and goes right to Rambis. Then Rambis tells him something. You can tell Flynn is valuing whatever Rambis said, but he is frustrated with himself.
