That’s even better

That's a good sense-check for the rest of us.

Because otherwise we would have lost.

And yet he would still win a head-to-head poll here vs. Griffin.

Like any assistant, his suggestions have to fall within the framework of what the coach wants to do.
If Prunty told Griffin that he his entire premise of having guys guard way out on the perimeter is ridiculous, he wouldn't survive.
There are so many basic flaws in what griffin is trying to accomplish on defense, especially with the perimeter players he has, that a good assistant can only help on the margins.
So not only is ag a horrible head coach but he’s extremely egotistical as well. That’s a good combination

Yeah, it’s not like he wrote a dissertation on the plight of the NBA assistant.

I hope you're not claiming that because he has a PhD that makes him listen to his coaches more and that he is open to change his espoused philosophy.
The PhD means nothing and should mean nothing when evaluating how someone has done. It may have had meaning when they hired him (it shouldn't have), but now it's all about performance.
The defense is bad and he's doing the same things over and over, like having Bobby (and only Bobby) double team a guard way out on the court, only to leave someone wide open.

Simply pointing out that when it comes to listening to his assistants, he understands the issue.

No doubt he understands the issue, more because he lived it than because he studied it.
But it also begs the question of if this is his strength, why did Stotts only last a month or two. Of course, Stotts could be the problem, but he hadn't had a history of that.

It's frankly a toss-up. They're both terrible.

True, but he left in a huff and offered no “wish him the best” words as Griffin did.
I suspect he left singing the great Bessie Smith blues: “I ain’t gonna play no second fiddle. I’m used to playing lead.”
