Didn't Thibs turn down the offer from upper management to bring in an offensive-minded assistant coach?
I used to think he was a top 3 coach...the more I think about it, he may have to be dropped down to a top 10, which is still pretty good.
But the guy is clearly subpar when it comes to coaching offense, and managing minutes I think is a real problem he has. He runs his players into the ground, continuing to play ailing starters when up by 40pts. If he put his ego aside for a season and actually brought in an offensive-minded coach to help him, like a D'Antoni, or luring Alvin Gentry away from Golden State, then I think you could REALLY have something there.
