Have we seen any growth from him or the team as the season has gone on?
I just don’t see a lot of coaching skills that he currently has, and I don’t see much growth.
In-game management (play calling, rotations, timeouts): very poor
Managing minutes: poor
Getting the team motivated: poor
Keeping the team accountable: poor
Defensive philosophy: average, but the defense has regressed
Offensive philosophy: below average, with mediocre results. If Joe’s offense was an nba player, it would be Antoine Walker.
Getting the team prepared for the playoffs: TBD, but things aren’t looking good.
I look back to the coaching search when Ime was hired. The team wanted a talented former NBA player (who was black) and held players accountable. Somebody with a tough edge who strongly promoted defense. Somebody who would get through to our young stars.
It seems like Joe checks one of those boxes.
