Again... you were to send HailBlazer a mouse pad. I can show you the link where I made that clear and you didn't follow up. If it's not clear now, please ask any follow up questions so I can clear it up for you.

Also, for the sake of accuracy: I don't bring this up in every other conversation, or anywhere close to that. If you need to make stuff to make your point, you're not making a good point.

Most importantly, I'm ribbing you, with ZERO malice, anger, etc.

MOUSE PADS!?!?!?!?!

Every other conversation with me. Didn't think I needed to clarify that.

I asked follow-up questions, you finally answered them. Thanks!

Your first statement is still inaccurate.

Glad we're on the same page. Hope I didn't upset you, that was not my intention!

Not saying Stotts was just awesome, the guy couldn't seem to teach Defense if his life depended on it but I think he knew how to run an offense and to the players strengths. At least the games were exciting being it was high scoring.

I say nonsense. The Blazers were #10 in the league in defense the year they had Wes, LMA, Rolo, Nico with Dame. Did he magically learn to coach defense when he had the roster and magically forgot when he did not?

The 2017-2018 team that had a semi-healthy Nurk, 2 good defenders in Harkless / Aminu and ET next to the small, defensively challenged backcourt of Dame + CJ was 8th in the league. Next year, they fell down to 15 (but Nurk had his big injury)

If you gave Terry a good defensive roster, he produced good defense. It is as simple as that. Anyone that tells you he could not coach defense presents alternative facts. Terry Stotts teams played good defense when they had the personnel and time to work with it. You gave him shit defensive roster, you got shit defensive performance, just like any coach would. (Pop's teams were 30th - worst in defense last year, 2017-2018 was the last year a SAS team was top-15 in defense, did Pop forget how to coach defense? Nonsense.

Terry was not the best coach in the world, but he was a lot better than he was given credit for. He optimized the play of very unbalanced, deficient rosters to continuously drag these teams to the playoffs. I know people will say that Dame dragged these teams to the playoffs, and they would be right, because Terry optimized the play around his only reliable star to make it happen.

Oh boy. Can we just recycle the numerous Stotts threads we had when he was still here?

I think coaching is the elephant in the room with the Blazers moving forward. He's not here so this thread is about him in a completely other context. Fact is the last two seasons we've sort of lost the respect of the league with our rookie coach and tankathon. This draft redeems some of that. Terry has had a stable career compared to a lot of coaching hires that didn't pan out. There's a reason...he just got off the Blazers books when this season ended and got snatched up by a contender with a great team of familiar faces. I'm happy for him. They love him there already.

Ya got me there! I didn't study the statistics. Just me eye test. Then he really is a good balanced Coach!

Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was talking about him as a *head coach*.

And I don't give a flying fuck what the players think about him. The players love Chauncey who seemingly couldn't coach an AAU team. So they can disagree with me until they turned blue in the face. The facts are - the league has voted with who they hire - and they don't think he's a good head coach. If he was so good, he wouldn't be an assistant right now. He'd be the head guy, so the league disagrees with you.

Ahh. So we get a coach that loses a team and he's still considered a good coach?
So much more to coaching than calling time outs? Seems like I'm talking to someone who has never even tried to coach.
You do understand Terry Stotts got paid for two years to relax right? I'll bet the league doesn't disagree with me as much as it does you.

I really like Stotts. Appreciate the job he did. But it's too early to make a definitive judgment on Coach Billups. He's developing as well. The tanks were a strategy to add talent from management. There were key injuries leading to that decision as well.

Totally agree here. Chauncey to this point has not been given enough to compete. He has however seen enough that i hope he continues to grow as a coach and can improve in areas he has struggled.

Being a good head coach is much different than being a “good coach”.

There are a ton of good coaches who can develop players, or good at coaching defense, or good at coaching offense… but would make for less-than-stellar head coaches.

Darvin Ham, for example, is seemingly a “good” coach particularly defensively. I think he leaves a LOT to be desired as a head coach, but this is his first year.

I could list a whole bunch of head coaches in football that are better as coordinators or positional coaches.

So yeah, you can be a good coach but a bad head coach.

And yes, there is much more to coaching than calling timeouts which is why you can be a “good coach” and not a good “head coach”, starting with in-game adjustments. You’re making my point for me jeenus.

Yes, I also understand that a bunch of Stotts dick riders say that same thing, when he was obviously trying to get a job, because he was interviewing when called upon. I would also say he didn’t get a head coach position this year. If he was so in-demand, why not?

Didn’t even get an interview this go around, why not?

Anyway, might as well not respond because I’m done with this thread.

I stand by my position. Only fucking morons think Terry Stotts is anything more than a mediocre-at-best “head” coach.

Hope he gets another “head” job so we can see how he does.

Peace ✌

According to you I'm one of those "morons" ...what a bullshit statement by you. You're welcome to your opinion but spare me the condescension. Choices...you're calling every player he coached morons as well as me...he was loved by his players and they played hard for him...his win loss record in Portland should make you hate Chauncey by now.
 
In the history of the NBA there were only 346 head coaches. Of these 346 head coaches, Terry is #35 in total wins and #34 in total games coached.

Again, not the greatest coach ever by any stretch of the imagination, but people are really underrating his record and ability to extract performance from sub-optimal rosters.
 
I sure don't miss Stotts but sure would be nice if we still had a GM who didn't have Lame's cock all the way down his throat
