non-minutes police here. thibs fan as well.
i both understand and agree with a lot of what they are saying.
i didn't work "played for thibs" into my evaluation this time because they played for him as an assistant like a generation ago. a lot has changed (both to their point and outside its scope).
but yeah, they know him more intimately than most who will weigh in. i find it fascinating and constructive after all.
I wouldn’t trivialize his role as an assistant coach tho. The guy was basically their defensive coach, and had a significant enough of authority in practices to make them run particular drills over and over and over like KG said, to the point where they had a heated face to face shouting match.
Judging by Thibs approach to coaching, not much has changed in terms of minute management since his early days as HC to now either.
