TYPE-A
Depends on how you measure success, but I digress..
As usual Red, your missing the point. I never said I didn't think MJ couldn't be successful. Infact, in my gut I feel he will be. The only thing I question is the man's lack of experience, which IMO is ok to take a glance at and discuss. Apparently you agree w this. But your post in that first angry rant didn't convey that. You actually go so far as to use his commentating, and the insights shared therein, as a reason for him to be hired. I believe you made a comparison of MJ to MDA based on MJ's philosophy that he's shared w you on TV. ;-) Which to me is pretty thin. It's not a coaching resume is all i'm saying. I guess that's why my post dissing his style on TV rubbed some Red off ya..
And ofcourse I understand the history of NBA coaches w no experience. There was no need to post a short -list. Billy Cunningham comes to mind as one player who jumped to pro coaching w no experience other than as player. He was a terrific coach and a better example than those above. I've mentioned Bill Russell. There are many others. All I'm saying is that ideally (the key word) you want your coach to have requisite experience.
We are in the "Warriors hire MJ" thread correct?
And that has to do with coaching correct?
Some posters used that opportunity to express their feelings regarding his commentary right?
Well I used that opportunity to call them haters since I felt that had nothing to do with coaching- and quoted them (not you them)
And for the last time...
A congrats (regarding his hiring) or good luck, would do. But some haters couldn't do that nor objectively state their apprehensions based on his lack o experience.
You got yourself involved although nothing was directed to you, then began over emphasizing both our stances. Mine (that some were haters) yours (that you have doubts) I guess because you love me.
My motives were obvious, and I have yet to state how exactly I feel in terms of his future success likelihood, because truth told I'm not a Warrior fan and could care less
But I can just say hope it goes well as a person who doesn't hate.
Really there is nothing more to discuss here, and I'm not into making mountains out of mole hills. I called them haters (f*cking haters) I explained why, you obviously can't comprehend why (or refuse to) and tried the spin doc' technique of exaggeration and misrepresentation because you were the one that got emo
Then put the icing on top by attempting to call me so. Anyone reading this should be able to see that.
