I still feel he didn't have the best situation with Clifford and Vuc's ascent at the same time but the more analysis I read and ponder this year, the more I think he's not our guy for long. DSN1423's Mosley history lesson is fascinating, especially when we remember the first thing we saw Mosley doing upon being hired was banging with Mo in an empty gym. Coach must be near tears looking at Mo and saying "If I had had that kid's body...". The WCJ/Bamba combo has been good, but I'm kind of convinced that Isaac steps more productively into Mo's spot than WCJ's. I don't know if Mo's a guy we marginalize for the rest of the season, re-sign on the cheap, and keep around as a third big...more likely, he's moved around the Trade Deadline, to a team that still believes they can be the ones to unlock his cheat codes. I don't think ATL needs him, but maybe something (3 teamer?) gets up Cam Reddish, who I think is a similar-value, high-upside guy who may or may not bloom in a different environment.
I found a game of Coach Mosely's from early 2000's (when our pro league was quite bad, basically you had to be over 30 with lots of NBL experience to get a contract, very few young players got court time). I think he was worse skill wise than I remember, must have been the awe I held him in as a teenager.

He gets subbed in around 8:30 into the video.
Watching him play, gives you a bit of insight to probably how he shaped his coaching philosophy and maybe some standards he holds the athletes to.
Enjoy if you can stomach some severely average basketball
