Stifle can you add Lionel Hollins and George Karl to the list? Interested how they are viewed.
Seems like every coach does that. Is it in the curriculum when you attend Coaching 101?
If he's trying to teach his guys to play defense without fouling this is not a bad way to go about it. It's a little strange but I don't believe he was given the job with the expectations to win now. So if he's using it as a teaching means then I get it. Now if it is still going on 3 years from now I'll be a little concerned. No reason in the NBA to hold your best players out with 2 1st half fouls.2nd foul in the 1st quarter: yes they all send them to the bench. 2nd foul in the 2nd quarter: Quin was the first coach I'd ever seen do that.
I do worry that Quin's attitude will wear thin on the players after a few years. Not impressed by his defense either. Offense is quite good.
The Jim Harbaugh effect? He'll probably evolve as a coach just as his players do. Right now they need someone to kick their derrieres. In a couple of years, Gobert and Exum will be leading the team on the court.
AS for the defense, it is improving. And what happens when Trey and Enes sit down? Burke is not going to be a starter next season. If Enes is re-signed, he likely comes off the bench. Gobert is just too good and too hungry to remain a sub. I don't care if he scores 0 points; Rudy changes games. And I have no doubt he'll continue to improve offensively. He has already this season. I expect another leap forward this summer; maybe a hook shot.
gregbroncs is right in saying there were no W/L expectations. It is all about player development and discovery.
