Down 5 with 45 seconds to go? Nah, we're too cool for timeouts, a contested Irving pull-up will do.
This type of "coaching" is infuriating.
TP. Don't understand Brad's philosophy with not calling timeouts in those situations either.
And it's not like we were rolling offensively either. If I recall correctly, the previous possession ended with a horrible looking Smart three.
Brad is an absolute consensus top 5 coach, most people believe he is top 3.
How on earth do you think (and this is going back years with you) you know better than he does?
Brad is an A- coach that is very young. I cannot state strongly enough how foolish your critiscms of him come across.
We are incredibly, incredibly lucky to have Brad on the sideline.
Are we really going to do the "no criticism of Brad" thing again this year? You'd think he was Jesus incarnate from your posts harping on any who dares to *gasp* criticize the almighty Brad Stevens.
He can be both an excellent coach and still make mistakes. And, yeah, one of his main flaws is to not call timeouts in those situations, especially given his ATO play-calling abilities.
Comparing anyone, player or coach, to perfection is a fool's errand.
Add to that, do you think, if you met with Brad, he wouldn't have a good explanation for his decisions?
You can disagree with things he does, but chances are you are wrong.
Coaching is simply not a problem on this team, and to harp on it, is something I just don't get it.
And kozlodev constantly acts like Brad is just this terroble coach, it isn't simply critizing a decision that was made.
