so what does ISH think of Blatt's first year?

[jzek]

Rate him out of 10.

[Patrick Chewing]

Who??


Oh the coach of the Cavs. Yeah, I give him a 5 just for showing up to the games.

[sd3035]

at least an 8 for having to put up with an aging diva who continues to fail on the biggest stage

[HOoopCityJones]

Let that ni99a breathe...

0. Why the **** wouldnt you put Marion on Iggy.

[IncarceratedBob]

He's a top tier coach in the NBA. Top 5 ish. Only coaches I say are clearly better are Pop, Carlisle, Scott and maybe Bud?

[ISHGoat]

Hes probably one of the better coaches in the NBA and lebron should feel lucky to have a guy as experienced as him. His defensive schemes have been on point. Its a shame lebron doesnt/cant play offball and their offense is basically having their stars taking turns isolating. I hope this will change next year, similar to what we saw in miami.

he's not top tier...and probably 15-ish...these are also as good, if not better, than Blatt.

Whatever happened to his complex offensive scheme? Did lebron throw it out?

Pretty much

There have been reports that he is basically a parrot on offense.

Lebron calls a play, and then david blatt relays the play to the rest of the team LOL

9/10. Did much better than expected with a number of tough to coach players, got them to turn it around and buy in defensively after a rough start and watching him coach against Kerr in the finals was a treat, both coached their asses off.

[BlazerRed]

10/10 for putting up with Lepeens diva attitude and not blowing his brains out.

I think Marion was nursing an injury otherwise we obviously would have used him...at least in short stretches.

[Rose'sACL]

He needs to coach a young team with no title expectations in near future.
LeBron himself almost coached a heavily injured team to a title so blatt should learn from it.

[Vancouver-Grizz]

5/10

His motivational speeches are far from inspiring. A lot of timeouts a needed to reaffirm strategy instead he goes on a cringe worthy rant.

When coaching a guy like LeBron...gotta go for broke and you gotta get a leash on him basically the first moment you meet. The minute you give LeBron too much, you have lost a lot of respect from other players. My theory is that you have a guaranteed contract anyways, go for broke!

A coach like JVG would never ever sway the coaching to LeBron or any player and I believe that is the type of coach LeBron needs because he does have a vision and due to his dominance in this sport, he is a little narrow minded because of that.

How many times do I have tell you clowns here that he never used Princeton offense in Europe? It was all entirely made up BULLSHIT that US media completely fabricated.

How many times does this have to be explained here?

We had this discussion in like 5 different threads before the season started. What exactly does it take for some people to grasp this?

You can't say that. It is impossible to judge an NBA coach. Outsiders have no clue what they are really doing. That's why the COTY is a joke award. Anyone who overachieves basically gets it because the media doesn't know what other criteria to base it on.

this thread is a joke. posters have no clue what coaches do :facepalm

the guy is a 10.

lol at inspiring and motivating. that's the least of the job description.

90% of the job is done pre-game. drills and teaching. 10% is the subs and play calling.

you know who has played here by their comments on coaching.

Why do you think it was Blatt who did that? Maybe it was Lebron who put Marion on Iggy

I have no idea what he did in Europe nor was I referring to it. It was an offense that was supposedly going to be implemented and Lebron was so smart that he picked it up almost immediately. Yet if he was able to pick it up why was it not put into practice?

It kinda was until injuries.

[I<3NBA]

someone tried to neg me (failed, since it was gray) and say "i know shit about coaching."

lol. considering that i played for one, i sure as hell more know about it than the rest of you sedentary fa99ots.

[CarlosBoozer]

8/10

As aggressive as Lebron was, he should of emphasised more ball movement rather than ISO Bron, he teammates were obviously not the best but its a better strategy than chucking bad midrange shots and contested shots.
