Try to keep up. The poster asked me to provide "Examples". Believe me i can provide many many more. There were like 492 pages of examples on Google.
When you are considered for coach of the year over and over again by sports writers and then the coaches themselves double down on that choice and then Player after player that comes here starts playing better the answer here seems pretty obvious?
Nobody missed anything.
It's all here for the reading.
Would you like me to grab the multitude of things written about Doc Rivers? Scott Brooks? Mark Jackson? How about McLickity Lips himself while here in Portland. Mo Cheeks you say? Would you like to include Alvin Gentry?
I say to you go find quotes by other
coaches or players that are negative about Coach Stotts. Because i can come up with a bunch on other coaches. The original question specifies "Coaches or Players" not John Canzano please. Because yes JC has been critical at times. Of course we all come to expect that. Even though he still voted for Stotts for COY i think twice?
Ball is in you guy's court.
@BonesJones perception and the Team as a whole is part of basketball. The team and the game is not just ingame adjustments, Screens, Rotations and defensive sets. I have been watching this team for a long time. I've seen bad team managers both on the court and off. How many times do you think Stotts is dealing with a player that caught a bad break in life that we know nothing about? How many times does he have a 23 year old kid in his office crying because his girlfriend just screwed his best friend? How many times has he had to talk to dame about family problems and what it's like to deal with a baby crying all night? How many times has a player had to sit out a game because they were hung over or simply were not ready because the travel was tough and they were home sick? 20 -22 year olds miss their moms. Heck i miss my Mom and Dad and i'm old now. You say he is a "Players Coach". I say he is a extremely good Coach that manages this team very well.
