I'm gonna have to refer to a great LBJ quote:

[LosScandalous]

Wow Jennings is going to have to eat ramen noodles and bread for the rest of the season. How is he going to survive off of a lousy 4.5 million? kids in africa have it easy

[strifed169]

Lin or Jennings, who you got?

[Chrono90]

THe 50 point game in his rookie season overrated him in a bad way. He never lived up to the hype afterwards.

[eliteballer]

Call me when this dude coaches a higher level than high school...

He's an underachiever and a very inefficient scorer. With the skills and athletic ability he should have been a tier below the derrick rose and russell westbrook.

[andgar923]

Why do people feel they gotta rag on coach Nick?

Does anybody have a legit counter argument?

Didn't think so, the Jennings SUCKS straight up.

The is nothing that he brings that is positive.

Call me when this dude coaches a higher level than high school...Bingo, Guy was fired this year and nobody is shedding a tear for him.

To get a feel for how people in Van Nuys feel about him read the comments section here. http://blogs.dailynews.com/preps/2013/01/11/boys-basketball-birmingham-coach-nick-hauselman-fired/


I know more details but won't share, the info is out there for anyone willing to dig for it. The man has issues

Just look at his shooting percentages.

Just look at his everything.

Coach Nick is an idiot, and that video ****ing blows.

[magnax1]

I used to be fond of Coach Nick, though I havent watched him in ages. Even if you think Brandon is bad, he doesnt really make a good argument for it. Some examples being
He complains about Brandon shooting more long jumpshots than Paul who takes quite a few close jumpers despite the fact that Jenning's adjusted shooting % from long is better than CP3's from short. Jennings strength has almost always been shooting from range.
He calls Jennings awful in isolations but doesnt really take into consideration the fact that a ton of those shots are bailing out an overall pathetic offense that brought Monta Ellis's true shooting percentage from 54% in his last healthy season in GS to 49% in Milwaukee.
He actually makes a good point about Jennings inability to finish though.
Jennings does a good job of putting pressure on defenses, and hes a pretty great drive and kick passer. He definitely makes a positive impact.

[Big Cheese]

I posted this vid on the bucks forum and they all seem to agree with him that jennings suck :confusedshrug:

he was a pretty shit coach too. Had good talent and he couldn't win shit :facepalm :roll:

[daily]

he was a pretty shit coach too. Had good talent and he couldn't win shit :facepalm :roll:That's because he kept trying to force the Triangle down the kids throats. High school kids don't want that sh*t they want to run they want to shoot they want to make cool plays not pass the ball around for 20 seconds.

I watched one of their games and he was yelling at them to slow it up on fast breaks and "work the plays" Kids were looking at him like he was nuts.:lol Parents were pissed off such a fiasco

BTW, do you know what kind of bullying coach Dick was doing? You seem pretty close to the situation.

Sounds like a horrible coach with a big unwarranted ego. The triangle is never run in high school for a reason. He isn't some genius who was the first to think of running it.

I will say because it's public record the whole school was in some trouble about the same time with accusations of racism and turning away students that it didn't deem as Birmingham High "quality" It's a Charter School tied to LAUSD receiving public money so theoretically they can't be cherry picking who goes to the school. If you meet the academic standards the school requires to attend then you should be allowed to enroll in the school but they were getting a little too picky. I understand some of that sense of we're above the rules spilled over into the sports programs.

On that level you don't have the time, you're still trying to instill basic basketball fundamentals in most the kids. You want a system that's easy to learn, easier to apply, keeps the kids engaged and flows from year to year as some kids mature and new ones come in.

[OmniStrife]

Hey its all true...

[bdreason]

I stopped taking this guy seriously when he said that average D1 schools were as good as Euroleague teams.

[R.I.P.]

Why do people feel they gotta rag on coach Nick?

Does anybody have a legit counter argument?

At 1.20 it says he takes 18% of his shots form within 17 feet. At 1.50 it says he takes 32% of his shots from around the basket. Besides that he always nit-picks the negative stats. He complains about 37.5% 3pt shooting like it is a bad thing. He says his AST/TO ratio is only good because he throws up bad shots before he can turn the ball over. And where do the 6.5 assists fit into that equation? :facepalm

The triangle's a little much, but the high schoolers I ref for are hardly without "basic basketball fundamentals." And many of them run a pretty sweet offense, pretty intelligently. Not anything super-complex (though I question how difficult the triangle really is), but there's a ton of movement and they're often getting good shots from it.

And I know their coaches, and I know why. If Coach Nick has a bunch of cocky hotheads who don't want to learn how to move without the ball and earn good shots for themselves and their teammates, they're not going to win with any coach.

And as for "that level," dumbed-down ball is dumbed-down ball. I've seen high schoolers run a fairly complex offense beautifully... and I've seen Mike Brown's teams. Scott Brooks' teams. The idea that you're saving motion and passing for the "next level" is utter foolishness. People just don't want to have to contain themselves in a greater whole and spend a bit of time learning a system - at any age. But you have to.

[Clifton]

And as for Brandon Jennings, Coach Nick's criticisms are pretty much all correct, as always. Coach Nick is usually only wrong in emphasis. For example, he's right that Russell Westbrook lacks a lot of really important point guard / game management skills. But he's wrong to not say, "but he's still definitely a top 8 player in the game, and OKC's offense is awesome the way it's designed, with Durant being the patient game management one and Westbrook being the pusher. It totally works."

Same with Jennings. He is awful in many ways. And it's true that he'd turn the ball over more if he passed more. And no, they're not bailout shots. He just has poor shot selection. But Jennings also has virtues as a player that Coach Nick ignores as he picks the guy apart for not being Chris Paul.

If Jennings went to the Lakers I have little doubt he'd do very well there. And if you just give him the ball and say "do whatever you want, we're not a serious sports franchise anyway," he's going to suck, as anyone would.

[Clifton]

I just read the link and the combox and I still have no idea why coach Nick was fired. "He was a racist." Okay? Evidence? If I'm the coach, and I tell you to pass 3 times before you shoot, and you shoot anyway, I'm yelling you and sitting you on the bench. Even if you're black. Is that what happened? Or was he actually a racist? Did he actually say things like, "You suck so much, because you're black. F*ck you."

[Da KO King]

Brandon Jennings is still getting by on "potential" and his 50 point game. He's simply not a quality starting PG.

[Sakkreth]

Meh some points were right, but Jennings as a player has upsides too, none of them were mentioned ofcourse. That self entitled coach get's too much attention he's aware only of the basics anyways. He can put stats into a video amazing!

[iamgine]

Jennings playoff #:

.298 FG% .214 3PT%

:facepalm

[Da KO King]

Why would he list Jennings positives in a video about why Jennings is still on the market and drawing little to no interest?

[CanYouDigIt]

Jennings needs to stat-pad next season like he's never stat-padded before.

Stay with the Bucks for 1 season, enter next year's FA, then become the best UFA PG on the market.

Maybe it would help more if he tried playing good basketball.

25k views, I honestly wonder if Jennings is pissed of about this

Has that guy every coached a successful team, cause all I see is....

As I said self entitled coach. And no I don't defend Jennings here.

[secund2nun]

I have been saying for years that Jennings is a vet min player off of the bench. He should be thankful that he has a 1 year 4.5 million offer and plays big mins because he is no better than any other typical vet min bench scrub.

:rolleyes:

If he was an unrestricted free agent or wanted to return to Milwaukee, he would have signed a deal in the Teague/Ellis range of $8M a year already. Being restricted he knows, if he signs that deal somewhere the Bucks will simply match it. Since nobody can or will overpay him to the extent that the Bucks won

[Kaspah]

Dude went hard on Jennings lol

I can appreciate and agree with it though. Jennings is ignorant as hell, could very easily see him as a cancer to his team.
