The Mike Dunlap Thread

[BigSlam]

The more I look at that uni the less I like it.

I think it has great potential but at the moment there is too much going on with the colours but not enough going on with the rest.

I really dislike having the two different blues.

Maybe if the number was the dark blue then it wouldn't be so bad (with the light blue used as the halo/outline - like the word CATS)?

I am good with the Leibovitz hiring. Seems like he fits with what Cho wants and he fits with the new HC.

[BigSlam]

I was wrong. I like the light blue.......

Apparently takes a Hall of Famer to replace Mike Dunlap!

Various reports in the media today that Steve Lavin will hire Gene Keady as Associate Head Coach at St. Johns, to replace the departed Mike Dunlap.

Not much on his wiki page apart from the fact that Lakers traded him for Kareem.

[SWedd523]

He was a part of the late 70s/early 80s Bucks team.

Look for a hairy guy with #32 on his jersey.

To my surprise Winters even has some large fan who has made a highlight reel of him.

So MJ called him the best pure shooter he had ever seen? WOW

I would have given that to Kerr.

Hopefully he can teach the boys something about growing a beard.
That's a thing of beauty right there.

In style he most resembles Larry Brown, in that he’s intensely concerned with precision and detail. Former Bobcats center Tyson Chandler used to call Brown very “particular’’ about how he wanted the game played, and Dunlap is just like that.

Three examples, at the offensive end, of how that will play out:

i love hearing about how dunlap wants players to pass and cut. that is my single biggest pet peeve when playing basketball, is playing with guys who make a pass and then stand there. my thinking about offense has always been that you pass, then cut.

“We were ready to go find Ben Gordon in Chicago, Michigan, wherever he was,” Dunlap recalled. “Then he came to Charlotte for four (days) and stayed for 21.

“We didn’t have to do as much traveling because the word got out amongst them that they could get good work done in this building.”

“These guys are on the clock 24-7,” said point guard Kemba Walker. “If we want to shoot, they go all-out to get us some shots. They’ve been going all-out for us all summer and hopefully it helps.”

“In our workouts the coaches do a lot of coaching, run a lot of drills. They’re going to different cities to work guys out. Just trying to make sure everybody is on the same page and their minds are right going into the season.”

“Coach is high-energy. He’s hands-on,” Henderson said. “He wants his players to be like that and his coaching staff as well.”

At each meeting Dunlap urged players to be in Charlotte more in the summer. The NFL has numerous organized off-season activities. The NBA doesn’t have a comparable structure.

“A lot of this is campaigning to get them here to our facility,” Dunlap said. “We want to create some sort of tradition that here is where our workdays are during the summer.”

Some players – Walker, Henderson, Matt Carroll and Cory Higgins – were in Charlotte constantly. Others were in and out. But by last Wednesday 15 or more players showed up daily at Time Warner Cable Arena to scrimmage.

He hasn't coached an NBA game yet, but its hard not to love this coach.

He's been a great story, and for me, as big a positive as the new players on the team.
