Can't have it both ways. He is the same guy who barely made it past a depleted Nets team and would have lost his job. I've said consistently he's a top 10 coach, but that there are at least 5-7 coaches who are better currently coaching.
I believe his lack of adjustments cost the Toronto series and it took him three years to understand:
1) that he had to play his starters 40 plus minutes a game in the playoffs
2) the drop defense is not good against good teams.
3) Need to cover corner threes.
I'm out of here for a while. The lack of critical thinking in this thread is a problem. Long live groupthink!!
Sometimes people need to consider that if they are on the wrong side of groupthink, maybe it is them that is wrong.
Like most people on this forum, we've criticized Bud for years. But we can also give credit where it's due. Actual credit, not back handed compliments. Like your post literally lists his errors and how he corrected them.
Critical thinking is not just picking holes in what someone is doing, any idiot can do that. That's basically what politics is. Real maturity is coming up with solutions, and then even better, admitting when you were wrong or made a mistake. Maybe you are older than a lot of us, but it doesn't mean you're wiser.
