I miss the days of professional behaviour when you are representing your employer (Lakers AND the NBA) and talking to listeners that you know will contain children.
The stupid argument that kids will hear it anyway it pathetic. They should hear a professional speaking that shows that those words are okay to use when your old enough to determine the right situation, which is not at a press conference.
I swear/cuss like a trooper when the situation suits, but not when I'm at work or in a meeting or at the shops being served by a staff member etc.
I miss the David Stern days of the NBA's expectations of professionalism.
Did anyone ask him why, in his opinion, he can coach better without any experience than other coaches who have been assistant coaches for years waiting for their chance?
I mean you miss the professionalism. I miss the days when people were more introspective and would say things like, "I am not ready to coach. I need to go out and learn the craft first." It would not be fair to the players I coach or myself to enter the coaching profession unprepared.
Well, that is just me. People have no shame now I mean what would the player JJ Redick think of the coach JJ Redick? Most likely, he would laugh in his face. You believe that you can enter the league and coach in this league as a former player. Really?
I agree with that as well....
Nothing to do with my post on cussing/swearing though.
It won't be long until the media pile onto JJ after a few losses.
Unfortunately, JJ always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room. That's not to diminish his knowledge or ability, he is obviously knowledgeable, but in his media role, he was quick to belittle other's opinions that differ from his.
Hmm, you mean, kinda like Phil Jackson and Popovich? They sort of act like that also… and it worked out for them I’d say.
I’m with some others here who actually think JJ is smart enough and has the guts to “grab the bull by the horn” and actually become a great coach.
I know people are taking it as a joke, but this guy doesn’t back down from anyone when he thinks he’s right (he certainly stood up to screaming A a few times and several others and put them in their place). Low key I think this guy has a good chance to be a great coach.
