A BIG MAN coach for LEONARD?

[RedHotRollin]

Why do you mean a big man then? Why not a short guy. It's the same reasoning, no?

Well, Bill Bayno, served in a similar role for two years working with Oden.

Or Jack Sikma?

James Edwards

 

[Rastapopoulos]

There are smaller men who have great low post skills. Penny Hardaway used to kill in the post. Everyone says Kobe's one of the best. What about Mark Aguirre?

 

[UKRAINEFAN]

I think Olajuwan would be the best choice. He had the skills and he is interested in teaching big man skills. He has worked with Okafor, Howard, Yao Ming and Kobe and LeBron.

Sabas!

 

[Eastoff]

Well, Bill Bayno, served in a similar role for two years working with Oden.

Oden did turn out pretty well offensively, but didn't he have a lot of offensive skills when we drafted him?

 

[crandc]

Sabas was a unique player - a 7' plus guy who could pass like a point guard and shoot 3's. Unlikely Leonard is in that class.

But getting Laimbeer from the Wolves would sure be some poetic justice, even though I can't stand the dude.

Any well-known big man coaches in Europe/FIBA?

 

[Reep]

I will be interested to see how Leonard's passing skills develop. In dead ball situations I routinely see him whip behind the back bounce passes right to the ref or a teammate. Very accurate. I wonder if he could learn to do that at game speed and if he has the vision and IQ to use it.

I too would rather see a teacher come in rather than a talented NBA player. Having said that Olajuwan has had some success teaching players. Now way Leonard ever gets that quick, but maybe Olajuwan could help him use the athetic ability he has.

Good outside the box type thinking there

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Here's an idea:

 

[Eastoff]

Here's an idea:

Joel did a lot of MMA training, but I have a feel Cena could help him with defense at the most.

 

[HailBlazers]

Here's an idea:

frickin awesome

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Taken moments before Cena's 2" penis fell off and he roid raged by throwing Leonard through a brick wall.

Joe Freeman ‏@BlazerFreeman
Highlight of #Blazers practice today: A powerful running windmill dunk from @MeyersLeonard11 which he followed w/ a celebratory cartwheel.


What big man coach can deal with that?

 

[tester551]

How about stealing Bill Laimbeer from the Wolves?

I think he would be great. When did he start coaching with the Wolves?

I just can't see Joel doing anything for this guy

 

[MickZagger]

How about Greg Kite. Or Dwayne Schintzius? Maybe Jon Koncak?

Uh, he passed away a few months ago.

My bad. Didn't see Maris61 RIP thread on him so I figured he was still pluggin and chuggin.

That's great! I think Joel would be a good mentor for him though.

Danny Manning, anyone?

"I'm blessed to have even met him," said Markieff Morris, who is in his first year with the Phoenix Suns. "He's the best big-man coach in the country. Any time that whistle blows and you look over to that sideline, he's telling you what to do.

"I owe most of my success to him."

Perhaps no Kansas team has been influenced by Manning's presence as much as the 2011-12 Jayhawks, whose Final Four run has been spearheaded, in part, by a frontcourt tandem that had a minimal impact prior to this season.

Manning has earned a reputation as a solid recruiter and one of the nation's elite coaches of big men. Under his tutelage, Thomas Robinson went from backup forward to first-team All-American and Withey from the bench to one of the Big 12's top defenders.

 

[MickZagger]

Danny Manning, anyone?

Sorry, but I'm going to need a little more than Markieff Morris' word that Manning's a great big man coach.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I think he would be great. When did he start coaching with the Wolves?

He left the Shock in '08 and joined the Wolves in '09. I think Laimbeer would be a great head coaching candidate too. I'll be disappointed if he's not at least interviewed.

::BUMP::

It's clear he needs one badly. He has all the tools and feel for the game but he's very rough. The experience difference between Meyers and Donatas was very obvious.

absolutely. the better coaching he receves now while he is so young the faster he improves

Maybe we can Hire Kareem. Just call him up and remind him of the Gold plated BackGammon board we presented him during his last game at the Memorial coliseum.
