Is Hardy such a good coach?

Not fouling when we are down and the other team has the ball and there is only 2 seconds between game clock and shot clock at the end of the game was preety poor coaching and something that even a rookie needs to know. And he made the mistake in 2 different games.

Not fouling when we are up three and the other team needs/wants to shoot a 3 to tie is a bad coaching decision imo but that decision is more forgivable because lots of coaches make that stupid decision. Hardy made that decision twice in one game. The first time he chose not to foul they hit the three and sent the game into overtime. The second time they got a decent 3 point look but McCollum luckily missed.

All in all he has been great though and should probably finish top 5-7 in coach of the year.

Danny ainge should win executive of the year for the gobert trade alone.

It is way to early to tell what caliber of coach he is. He has had some good moments but also a few of the most head scratching bad moments I have ever seen from a coach.

After 30+ games, i'm still think our coach have a great potential but on my opinion, he should improve in a cpl of ways :

1/ Sitting THT is fine but how do we explain that Gay play a lot ( and play really bad...)
2/ Why let JC shoot so much specially when he is not hot?
3/ Why do not play more the youngs guys ( NAW, Kessler) when we all know Mike and others vets may not be here soon.
4/ Why do not optimize Lauri skill and make him our primary player? I feel sometime that except Mike, other players don't give him the ball enough.

1. Numbers show the defense is a lot better with him in the game. I just wish he’d just choose never to shoot like ever.
2. Coach doesn’t choose who shoots. Lol
3. One. WTH have you been watching? NAW and Kessler play a lot. he plays Conley because he’s trying to win. He’s not worried about next year. That is management’s job. He only cares about winning and as a first time head coach it’s very important to get off to a good start in this day and age of impatience.
4. Markkanen needs to learn to optimize his skill set. He’s not aggressive enough in hunting his shots. He tends to give up too fast and gives up the ball. Hardy can tell him till he’s blue in the face to be aggressive. Markkanen just needs to learn to take the bull by the horns.

Personally I wish he’d lose more. But as far as his coaching chops are concerned he’s already an upper echelon coach in the NBA.

I think on the 2nd scenario, up 3 and they are hunting for a 3, they are playing the odds by not fouling. It is really pretty rare to get that last-second shot they need, and if you foul them you stop the clock and give them another chance. At least I imagine that is probably part of the logic and why about every coach does that.
