It boggles my mind how lost most of you guys continue to be.
AS A **** COACH. Holy **** ****, dude, are you that dense that you don't know the difference between coaching teams to 11 championships with LOADED teams and being a FO executive? Seriously? He knows what it takes to win as a COACH, but just because he can COACH does not mean he will be a successful FO EXECUTIVE. JUST LIKE being a great PLAYER does not mean you will be a great COACH or FO EXECUTIVE. The jobs are **** different.
It boggles my mind how **** stupid people can be when they say "LALALA RINGZ RINGZ RINGZ."
Phil won't be here once his contract ends. KP WILL. He is the **** future of this team, not some senile egotistical twat **** who has no **** idea what he's doing.
Robert Horry has RINGZZZZZ he knows how to win, right? He'll be a better FO exec than everyone who has fewer RINGZ than him, right? FOH with that bull logic. THE JOB IS **** DIFFERENT. WHAT HE DID AS A COACH MEANS JACK **** TO HIIM AS AN EXECUTIVE.
Being a good coach has to translate better to being an executive than being a good player, but correct, there doesn't have to be a direct correlation. And I know you don't like Phil, but lots of loaded teams won a chip or two but couldn't go dynasty, because, well, I think the coaching made the difference. So, loaded or not, Phil's coaching made a difference. When he was coaching.
I still think based on his experience on all time great Knick teams, that shared the ball and played defense, and later seeing those attributes on his coached teams (though of course it Jordan/Pippen/Kobe/Shaq helped), then understanding that should translate into building a certain culture and style of play. Doesn't mean the same person would understand the cap or personnel moves or making the very best deals either. Phil hasn't been what I thought he would be, but unlike you, I think the jury is still out. Tilted towards bad on the scales, but not over. Ultimately, after 5 years I'll probably say he was bad, but just a bit early for me yet.
I've always thought Phil was slightly overrated as a coach, but that's neither here nor there. His coaching definitely made a difference, but I don't think he's the GOAT coach. Just my opinion, though.
I think the jury is still out as well, but he's behind the 8 ball until he proves me otherwise. I've always said if he knocks this draft out of the park, he'll get major kudos from me. I just think that up until 6/22/17, 12:20 PM, he's been ****.
