"We talk about every week and most of the time it's justified, but here we are at this point. Several things wrong with that. Number one, like, where's darvin ham in that situation? Like, you have a timeout left, like Russell Westbrook gets to stop. He's dribbling the ball up, and once you see that look in Russell Westbrook's eye, where he sees red. He sees Joel embiid standing in front of him and he says, I'm gonna go get him. Why darvin ham? Are you not running towards the referee and calling time out? You still would have given yourself ten seconds. You could have run a play. LeBron was 15 for 23 in that game. One of his best games of the season. That's the guy you've got to get a touch. You've got to get the ball in LeBron's hands. I do have a slight issue with LeBron too because if you watch that play develop, like LeBron kind of coasts up the floor and doesn't go get the ball. Like if I'm LeBron, I am stomping my feet clapping saying give me the ball. I know, look, not that he needed to take the shot, but the ball needed to touch his hand. Howard, on the same night, we saw the nuggets go out of their way to get Nikola Jokić the ball at the end of that game. And jokic, that wasn't a high percentage shot. Like that was a great shot, but it wasn't a high percentage shot. It was a step back three pointer from a 7 footer that was not, I don't care who you are. That was not a high percentage shot. But they made sure he got the ball. In those situations, LeBron James needs to touch the basketball. I just was flabbergasted by that entire sequence at the end of that game. And look, I understand DARPin Hamm has to support his guy. He has been staunchly in Westbrook's corner from day one, and that's really the only way you can keep him engaged with this team, but the idea that he would take that, what did he say? You know, 6 times a week and twice on Sunday, whatever he said. No, no, no. The ball needed to go in LeBron's hand. A timeout should have been called. They should have run a play and they would have had a chance to win a game that they may need in April come playoff time. That was an NBA TV game, so when the game ended at least on my TV, it went to the NBA TV studio and they had Terry stotts and Sam Mitchell there, both of course, you know, have coached a lot of years in the NBA. And they were dancing around a little bit, like Sam Mitchell initially went all in on the idea. Like, you got a call timeout and it was funny because he kind of went through this thing about how casta is still new to the NBA TV thing. And I don't know how many times he's been on this season or I haven't seen all of it or what he said, but he actually kind of said, initially it was kind of agree with Mitchell about that Darwin's got a call timeout, but then he was like, you know, we've got in trouble a couple of times for the things which were second guessing, so I don't really want to go there. Like he was trying to be very careful with respectful of darvin ham and they even went to the extent of saying, you know, this is one of

"Some of the names that have popped up on previous head coaching searches and things like that. But now that Utah Jazz have got well, I mean, let's talk about this real quick. So from an organizational perspective, this is the front office show after all. Teams don't want to be rushed in their head coaching search. That's what we hear pretty frequently. And of course, they shouldn't, because this is somebody who ideally is going to be in that job for three, four, maybe 8 years. You don't know. You want to get this right. But we are just weeks away from the draft. It's usually ideal to have your head coach have a say in your draft process. And then free agency as well, which again, you want your head coach to have a voice in that situation. So organizationally, what are the Utah Jazz do here? Do you try to fast track things? Do you not worry about having the coaches input in those situations from that front office perspective? How should they approach this? Yeah, Danny ainge was actually asked about that today and the press conference of, you know, I apologize. I don't remember who asked it. I don't remember exactly the way it was phrased but it was essentially like, how quickly are you going to hire a coach? And he said a lot of what you said is like, it's not a decision. You rush, you need to be true to the process, but he also owned an off season of map out and plan. And we wanted to get moving and he did say I've got a few candidates in mind. Then he very quickly added, none of whom I know. So it was with that. So let's take the Brad Steven stuff out of the mix. He's not leaving the Celtics. Go coach the jazz. Also, I know you made a joke about it on Twitter, but I saw people for real suggesting. Coincidence is not going to go be darvin Harris. That's not a thing that happens. Just because Jason Kidd kind of did it with Frank Vogel and a couple other guys who were more coaches have taken jobs, not always guys were not the high profile coaches that do that. There were guys who needed a kind of and I got to rebuild a little bit here to get myself in a spot here to get back up. So let's just or there was a preexisting relationship like Mike D'antoni doing it for Steve Nash. That was a hey, I'll come and help you along in your first year as a coach. So but all that aside, yeah, I mean, my guess is one of the people mentioned is Johnny Bryant. Clearly they have a familiarity with him. He's a jazz assistant, Terry stotts, body of work, is well known out there. But we're here in a whole bunch of other names, be thrown out there. Will hardy, who's one of the Celtics assistants, has been mentioned. He's a guy who's been kind of the tertiary candidate on these lists of he never really seems to get to the final round, but he's somebody whose names mentioned a lot in this. I'm missing some of the other guys for the sake of time here, but it is.

"You just never know like that's the right attitude for him. You and i don't have to believe it or buy it. But that is the right attitude for him to say. Sometimes everything breaks your way in. The chemistry is right and there's some good fortune involved. The blaze aren't terrible. They were the conference finals a couple of years ago. Grand things way then too much thought like that's that's like okay. Listen listen. I'm not trying to make the case for him to stay. I'm saying i'm not making a to leave. I'm i'm i'm glad as wanna leave either. I think lillard bradley beal staying where they are is great for the nba. Don't want stars just defecting for bigger markets or greener pastures. Whatever they have the opportunity. I just don't see the path here i mean talking about the warriors draymond green back in two thousand fifteen was arguably the nba's best offensive player. Klay thompson was one of the best defensive players at his position. Very good defensive player. Where are the defensive stoppers in important. The twenty one thousand nine hundred twenty in the league defensive efficiency last year is larry nets going to make that big a difference as cody. Zeller gonna make that big a difference. The roster's largely the same. And if you can't defend at a level better than that and send it a million times. Maybe terry stotts wasn't a great defensive coach but you cannot just conjure up a great defensive team when you don't have horses to do it and lillard mccollum pow knock great defensive players merkich okay at best. I don't see it. Our i mean the wars get stopped as they were offensively and they were dynamic. They could get stopped guys at least on the floor. At all times harrison. Barnes get stops to. They could defend this team. Doesn't offend and if you don't offend you are no better than like the six seed in your conference and you're probably getting bounced in the first round. I would not be placing money. I'm not a gambler. Anyway i would not be playing in the blazers winning the west or going to the finals anytime in the next couple. I'm writing this show. Belk belk picks blazers to win west. This is going in the show. i just i. His line of thinking is the way you have to look at it. You know unless you wanna just despair and issued the trade demand which she clearly does not want to do. He may yet get there. It may may change. But for now you saw with the blazers. Were able to do what they weren't able to do. You can be disappointed you can. You can pout about it. You could pull a ben simmons stay home or you can walk in on day one day and say listen stranger things or other things we haven't expected in this league have happened..

"Be consulting which is performance psychology from and the founder and director of the non for profit wisdom. Not we talk about her roots. Ghana working with athletes versus executives. We talk a bit about what the media gets wrong when talking about mental health and athletes. Why it's important for athletes to talk about an acknowledged their struggles but also be willing to get out there even if they're not one hundred percent social media's effect on athlete performance and a very blunt discussion about sex at the nba rookie symposium. Plus i ask her the question that none of my guests have yet been able to answer. Enjoy the interview. That's what she said so. I'm very excited to have this week's guest in part because mental health in sports has never been a big but also because she comes on the recommendation of one. George karl who apparently is started listening to the podcast. Probably because of his buddy terry stotts being on and recommending. That wendy is sort of like the new doctor from ted lhasa which is a hell of a pitch at a time. When ted laso couldn't be more popular. And especially according to more recent episodes as were getting to know more of dr sharon fieldstone We'll find out whether dr wendy the lobbyists is similar in many ways. That's just a good pitch. But either way i'll take it Let's talk about where you've got started. Because the bio is intimidating. The work is impressive. But you're just a normal person. You gotta start somewhere. So were you like as a kid what were you into. I'm i was into everything. Is sports the arts. So actually and that was because of i think my coming from another country some originally from ghana so i can the united states. I was almost four. And so my parents want us. You know it'd be americanized so they had to every single thing. We could possibly do so. I got into all of the things all the sports. All of the the arts stuck with basketball continued continued on. But i think. I've always been into which i got from my parents and finding is helping other people i was doing that Trying to figure that out you know at a young age. What could i do to help this person. Help this brand or do whatever so. That's always been part of my path as well. What did your parents do to help others. That model that for you..

It seems like paul and died. And there's a power vacuum and he just felt it you know because he should have been fired usually go like i know we were always saying people should be fired but the thing what portland is like. They just haven't got it. Anyone naked soaked his way out of denver and they got a very good player for free with a pig that they blew but two thousand sixteen seventeen draft like twenty seventeen draft. They had like three picks and they got like that collins and like it's very possible to seem coulda had like. Oh gee and john collins and they do they're probably find like an assist they don't have talent and like Is very very good at basketball. But he's also surly undisciplined and you can't have followed a games like he's been doing and i mean i don't want to criticize them but he's he's naked so he's never going to be someone who's like ultra liable and they depend on him so and i don't know i just it's very strange like you know how dame has kind of operated you know speaking kris haines like They're just kinda stuck. And i think that you know they've clung cj and all that and it's like if you don't drop while you have to get lucky and they'd haven't really done that. But i do think that. Nance net covington dennis smith. They can be a little bit better on defense and w maintain but they're pricilla. I run out. So like even the norman powell thing like they're gonna pay three six two guards like ninety million dollars. You can't do that and that's what they are on track to do so. He's a good player but it's like they're locked it. They painted themselves into a corner in in yellow way. They could get out as with a traitor. You know the team gets blown up so but Yeah i just kind of feels weird with carlisle and go out and start to as an assistant that twenty seven team like end of an error because portland has been very stable in. Terry stotts was a big part of that. He got fired. So yeah it's like let's. Let's blame the coach. And i don't think he was a problem. Because you have kanter mellow and anthony simon's and you know on the bench in this like you know no wonder they struggled offensively..

"I think that's a difficult question to answer because like you said that the freedoms of the players i think is important in this league. They worked a long time to get to this point. I think it does make a difficult from an ownership management standpoint to constructing You can you can really harm yourself. Long-term with decisions that are made A the one thing i'll say about the is that the whole. Cba has evolved back in when glen robinson came out. And you know the big thing about. He wanted more than what the franchise was worth You know there have been issues. Throughout the years in the nba. I think has always been on the forefront of doing what's best for not only players but for the league in general and for owners and so i think this is somewhat of a phase. It'll be interesting. How the collective bargaining agreement works itself out the next one to address some of these issues because it is a concern. But i think fundamentally the league is you have to draft well. Obviously players can change. But when you look at the successful franchises over the year i would say and i could be wrong but eighty five. Ninety percent of the best teams drafted their best players and and that has been a somewhat consistent theme throughout now there are obviously locations that attract free agents and and there are teams that are built through free agency and You look at You know the lakers. You look at Brooklyn that's obvious but But so many of the teams are built around a good draft. Whether it's you look at damian lillard here you look at yokich and denver. You go through the list steph. Curry people forget about the dynasty and golden state was built on draft picks draymond and and klay thompson and steph curry were draft pick. So it's still important draft while and retain the players that you draft but beyond that the collective bargaining. There's so much that goes into that between players rights and and profitability. And so many that. I think it's difficult just to just make a quick statement about the state of the laid. Well and you have to convince those players sustain so a lot of times if they out. It's maybe you haven't fulfilled the promises of putting the right team around them or otherwise and so there's always that balance of of getting them to stick around and filled out and i think people overlook there have been players That have moved on certainly But you some players have been traded and that's not moving on but I think the fact that you wanna championship in milwaukee rate. That's like that's like kill you've got two things. One is a small market team won the championship and two. You have a franchise player. Who stayed with that team and those are two of the biggest questions about ken. Small markets team win can you retain free agents and the walkie is an example of both. So i think there's always hope but there's always a tendency certainly from a media standpoint to really lock in on the major markets and what they're doing for sure. Yeah we're we're renowned for that in fact unfortunately one of the major markets in chicago and yet we can't figure out how to play like one and compete like one but that is a tale for another time before i let you go. You do have to do the one thing that everybody does. And that you somehow already made me on my own podcast. it's the spanish inquisition expert. Kind of spanish inquisition. Spanish inquisition is part of espn nation. Brought to you by dr pepper. College football is back. And so are the fans. Return to glory with fans ville by dr pepper. The one fans deserve.

"The triangle was was more more difficult than anything else because their style of play and obviously with the roster that they had gotten jordan stories not really other than kicked asan's ninety six. I always appreciate stories. Jordan's kicking someone's ass. That's my favorite kind Prepping for this. And i found the same with stan van. Gundy coaches very rarely have a whole lot of information about them off the court on the internet. You just learn about where they coached and how they fared and did they win. So what is what would you say is your biggest passion out other than basketball. Well being out of basketball right now. I'm going to have to find one and feeling your answer. I don't know it's all. I you know i used to enjoy golf. But my game is progressively gotten worse. i really enjoy traveling but cova has made that difficult so i i hate to say i. You know even though i like to think of myself as relatively worldly in but i'm i'm a basketball guy and it's dominated my life For last well in my entire life. And so i really don't have a lot of passions outside of basketball. I have some interest but not allowed passions. So i take that to mean that If you could you would immediately get right back into coaching. Either as a head coach or would you even be willing to go back to being an assistant at this point. I would definitely like to be a head coach again Obviously that's not going to be this year as far as as assistant coach at will see what's out there. That's the thing is obviously this year will play itself out and i'll take whatever opportunities as they come along and decide if that's the right thing for me to try to steal my job and become an analyst until that coaching job arrives. You know there's party that would enjoy the media side of it and then there's part of me it's like you guys you guys get a bunch of criticism too so we're in a very public forum where everybody thinks they can do the job better. But i don't know. I think every ex coach thinks about doing that I don't know if that's something that i would pursue for. Anybody has interested in it. You also think at that point have to decide. Do i want to get back into coaching. And so i need to hold my cards. Pretty close to my vest in terms of either strategy or being honest about the people i've worked within the players have worked with Because some of the doors are tough to close again once. You've opened them. If you wanna maintain sort of the ability to coach a whole bunch of places were you surprised. Or what was your reaction. I guess as the drama around the hiring of chauncey billups in portland You know. I'd rather rather not get into it. I think that's pretty complicated issue. And so i think that's that's been talked about so i really don't have any inside information so i don't think it's really my place. What about your buddy. Rick carlisle taken the pacers job. A lot of people had you nabbed to go there former mr indiana and whatever was that a surprise for that he ended up taking that gig Well yes and no. It's not a surprise in that. Rick wants to coach. I mean he. He loves the game and Obviously got a very good salary. He had been there before he had relationship with bird and the owner. So in a lotta ways that it did not surprise me and when you look at the hirings that that were that happened this summer Del harris said that. There's only two kinds. There's no such thing as a bad job. There's you have a job and then you have no job and job is always better so but no it didn't surprise me. I think rick do really well there. He knows the lay of the land. A think it'd be a good show using dallas for thirteen years so it'd be good challenge. So do you live in portland noun. Is that where you plan to stay while you figure out what's next yeah. We'll be here this year. We'll we'll send spend this year here and see what happens next next spring and summer and make decisions then but no portland's great place to live. We love it here. We've got friends loved the climate. So yeah we'll be here for the foreseeable future. Who's the we and we're staying here. My wife and i we don't have any kids. That's the other thing so when you talk about passions we don't have kids or grandkids so it's not like we can just go visit the kids no mom and dad coming No so it's just My wife and i and our in our little dog and so this It makes things relatively easy in some ways isn't that we can pick up and go and we don't have any decisions to make with regard with schools and stuff like that for young and probably as a coach did make it easier throughout the years to pick go songs. The wife is okay with that was. I've always had a lot of admiration for coaches in this league with families. You gotta make some tough choices whether to uproot the family or leave the family and you go. it's just. I think it's good to move every once in a while while your child. Obviously i moved a lot but coaches in this league who have family and especially young kids. It's it can be very difficult. Yeah we're running out of time. But i want to ask this because i think i disagree. With a whole bunch of different people former players analysts about this I love the the flexibility and the power that the players have to choose their destination and to be more in control of their careers. But i also think there is a tipping point after which it makes it really difficult to build a team if a contract is no longer any worth if you could be two years into five years and i change my mind forcing my way out. I'm sitting out. Not because i think you should be forced to status situation if if things have drastically changed from what you were promised but i just don't know how you can be a superstar at team could build based on the idea that you'll be there for x. amount of years and then that's not the case anymore Of course team can always trade a star so they have that power and that ability to go against contract in in a certain way. But what's your feeling on that trend. I don't know if it's a trend really but on in the last couple of years there being some pretty big names who have just said. This contract isn't really valid anymore..

"I want to win in portland. There was still going to be the churn of is going to go somewhere else or what needs to change in order to keep him. How difficult does that as the head coach or does that affect how you can run the ship. It wasn't difficult for my standpoint. Damian was the same person he continually said. He wanted to be a blazer. He wanted to be a blazer for life. You wanna be the greatest blazer ever and so. I as a coach and i've always been a big believer in separation of powers you know. Let gentleman's owner deal with the personnel part. I just. I coached the team. I don't talk to agents. i don't i don't get into that part of it. So none of that really affected me or the team. Because damien was pretty consistent with his message even though he continually got asked about it he was always consistent with his message and there was no there was no ambiguity to it. It was just He's here and i mean let's face it. I wouldn't have been the coach for nine years if it weren't for dame and his approach was always the same and his the way he replied to media those type of questions. We're pretty consistent. So i respect that you would give the gm the space to do what they need to do. And you'll do it. You have to but in a situation like portland where so many people felt like. You're just a player or two away from winning it all because you've got the superstar dame and you've got the supporter and c. J. was a difficult not to walk into the office every day. And say what are we doing. How are we getting better. What are we out there looking at because the expectations are so high. If we don't make those changes can we expect to make a change in the result. It wasn't difficult for me. You know like i said..

"I think the relationship was was very good and but the learning experience for me was phenomenal. We'll get right back to the interview but i. What is your favorite word. I'll be honest. I don't bird did anything pop into your head. And then he said now that's not it. Actually the word that popped in was dilemma dilemma. Okay so dilemma. Seemed like a cop out but now after reading up on the word. I'm glad that he chose it. Because the entire foundation of this podcast has been shaken. Okay i. I will admit that for a long time. I thought there was a silent and in dilemma But i figured out for good that it was a double 'em and i thought oh my problems with the word were over but no my reading of the word was flawed as well. Because i've always seen it as basically a synonym for problem which is currently a secondary definition few but the true meaning of dilemma is quote. A situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two alternatives especially ones that are equally undesirable which i had never heard of before. But it's from the fifteen twenty s from late. Latin and greek dilemma double proposition from dining and lemon meaning premise. Anything received or taken. It actually started as a rhetorical device. Which i was going to explain to you but the more i waited into the waters on that bore confused. I got it has definitely been a while since my college years of critical reading But i wanted to give you a little taste of what i read in an attempt to explain to you how it began as rhetorical device. Dilemma is a form of one of whose premises is the conjunction of two conditional statements. And the other of which affirms the disjunction of their antecedents and whose conclusion is the disjunction of their consequence. It's form is if p then q and if our then s either pierre are so either cure s yeah moving from that. In the fifteen hundred s it came to me and more loosely a choice between two undesirable alternatives and now despite actual fights between dictionaries and their usage panels it has evolved into being accepted synonym for a plight predicament. So that brings us here. What a journey. That was coach. Okay speaking a great words. Today the word of the week is dunce. A dullard adult an ignoramus. And i chose this. Because i love the origins it came about as a standalone word. In the fifteen seventies from the earlier dunn's disciple or dunn's man in the fifteen twenty s. Now these were the followers of john. Duns scotus who was a scottish scholar of philosophy theology who along with thomas aquinas and william of autumn was one of the leading scholastic philosopher theologians of the high middle ages and then the sixteenth century. His followers argued against the renaissance humanism and the term dunce became a per the protestants a term of abuse one. That was a synonym for one. Who was incapable of scholarship. And then by the fifteen seventy is it. Just became any dole witted student. That is a very tough legacy for a once. Great man but in nineteen ninety-three. Pope john paul the second. I think it's pronounced beautified duns and that's a recognition from the catholic church of when someone has passed that they have an entrance to heaven and they can intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in in his or her name. So he's got that going for him which is nice. But his name is now synonymous with dolt. Okay sentence hundreds of years from now will someone in our modern times and entertainer author or even saturno former president inspire a legacy like that of john. Duns scotus offering up for the ages a new word like dunce. Now let's get back to the interview so you eventually end up getting your first shot as a head coach with the hawks. When you're promoted midseason right which is a tough position for your first time as a head coach because it doesn't feel concrete And it wasn't a eventually right for you. It was a pretty short run with the hawks. You went back to being an assistant with the warriors before getting another shot as a head coach. When you got that opportunity with the hawks and Ended up going back to being an assistant. Were you patient and thought yourself that head. Coaching opportunity will come. This just wasn't the right time. Or did it feel deflating to not have that be immediately now at this level. And i stay there. I was the record. Really doesn't doesn't show but i was proud of the time in atlanta. You know so. We went our first game. That i after i took over day after christmas we won that and as this is great and then we lost six in a row then we wanted to and then we lost six in a row. I said okay. This is this is this is reality here but we are over five hundred the rest of the second half the season. We're over five hundred and second season. I i wasn't even know i was in. I was going to be the coach. There was an ownership change That whole story. But i ended up not knowing if i even was going to have a job. The following season anywhere as assistant head coach i ended up going to atlanta and You know we had some good times there but You ask good question win win when you're fired is a head coach. You don't know if you're going to get another opportunity. You just you in this business. You do the best job you can. You look for the opportunity. The best opportunity that's available if there are any and you make do do the best job you can in and see what happens and so i left atlanta in was able to go to golden state. It was. I had no no qualms at all about being an assistant coach. I'd only been I've been head coach for less than a year and a half. And i very comfortable being being a head coach. I was too young to obviously retire or anything like that. So i thought it was necessary to be to go that route and it just seemed like a natural fit. So we're at the warriors then the bucks then the mavs whereas an assistant you help them win an nba championship. What was your biggest takeaway from that championship run. What did you learn as far as either coaching style or anything else about what it is to win the nba. By being a big part of that mavs run. We'll be in there for years It was a great run and first and foremost being with rick carlisle for those four years. Rick and george because basically my my basketball experience was pretty much. The foundation that was laid being with george for ten years But being being rix assistant. Rick and george are both phenomenal coaches but they go at it in a completely different way Their approached their personality. did it showed me that that you can be a good coach with any kind of style. And those two were almost diametrically opposed. Except they're both very passionate about the game very passionate about winning So that was the first and foremost was learning from rick. Another way of doing things. And i was able kind of mesh that the two between him and george later on But you know you win with great players and dirk nowitzki One of the all time. Greats and jason kidd even though he was i don't know thirty five at the time is an all time great We had some great role players Tyson chandler was a great defensive center. Which was exactly what we needed. So i think you you always know and i knew this seattle with all the success. We had in seattle milwaukee. It's about the players and trying to get the best out of them. And when you have a players like especially and i don't want to discount everybody on that roster but when you have guys like dirk and jason you're as good as your best players and those guys had a i think more than anything else for that run was I think everybody felt like this. This is it. I mean this is it for jason. This might be it for dirk. As far as we're that close. And i think with With every series win it became more tangible. And we just i think with each round it became more attainable and the focus became more intense It was it was just a remarkable run. i needed..

In the fifteen hundred s it came to me and more loosely a choice between two undesirable alternatives and now despite actual fights between dictionaries and their usage panels it has evolved into being accepted synonym for a plight predicament. So that brings us here. What a journey. That was coach. Okay speaking a great words. Today the word of the week is dunce. A dullard adult an ignoramus. And i chose this. Because i love the origins it came about as a standalone word. In the fifteen seventies from the earlier dunn's disciple or dunn's man in the fifteen twenty s. Now these were the followers of john. Duns scotus who was a scottish scholar of philosophy theology who along with thomas aquinas and william of autumn was one of the leading scholastic philosopher theologians of the high middle ages and then the sixteenth century. His followers argued against the renaissance humanism and the term dunce became a per the protestants a term of abuse one. That was a synonym for one. Who was incapable of scholarship. And then by the fifteen seventy is it. Just became any dole witted student. That is a very tough legacy for a once. Great man but in nineteen ninety-three. Pope john paul the second. I think it's pronounced beautified duns and that's a recognition from the catholic church of when someone has passed that they have an entrance to heaven and they can intercede on behalf of individuals who pray in in his or her name. So he's got that going for him which is nice. But his name is now synonymous with dolt. Okay sentence hundreds of years from now will someone in our modern times and entertainer author or even saturno former president inspire a legacy like that of john. Duns scotus offering up for the ages a new word like dunce. Now let's get back to the interview so you eventually end up getting your first shot as a head coach with the hawks. When you're promoted midseason right which is a tough position for your first time as a head coach because it doesn't feel concrete And it wasn't a eventually right for you. It was a pretty short run with the hawks. You went back to being an assistant with the warriors before getting another shot as a head coach. When you got that opportunity with the hawks and ended up going back to being an assistant. Were you patient and thought yourself that head. Coaching opportunity will come..

I'd finished playing so has there been any moment since you rejected that acceptance dental school that you said i wish i'd gone on to be a dentist you know. I'm very fortunate sixty three. I have very few regrets in my life and not going to dental. School was not a regret excellent. I do like to brag about the fact that i was accepted.

"That being said, they have a two-time MVP in his prime grade. You know top-five player at worst in the league. Honest is phenomenal. And so hopefully you just you know off LeBron. Michael Jordan. All those guys didn't win titles to their late twenties, so maybe honest has one last little gear, he gets too, and that's a Difference Maker cuz yeah, capitalize, you just got hit on your mid levels and minimum wage and hope it works out and yeah, they're in trouble. You oh, I was just to say, I flat-out don't get this team because they have two identities. The team I saw in the regular season, I really thought was going to beat the was going to beat the the Nets to the point that I called it. I said net, I said bucks and 6 because they have a top-10 offense that got a top-10 defense. I thought they had all the parts to come together and do something special and you know fine say I'm a Brooklyn hater and that that that bias is me fine, fine, whatever. But still I thought it was a fifty-fifty series. And what I've seen is not fifty-fifty so far, it's not even seventy-thirty. It's like well the Nets just kind of fumbled game three but they had game three in the bag too if you think about it. So yep. Just don't know. And it, it's, there's this drop-off between the regular season to the postseason that I almost think is coaching based. I think once bud is out of there, they have a chance, just Gianna's, give them that time. Does he give a coach? Like Mike D'Antoni, really didn't hit his stride. So his second year as a rocket head coach, you know, do does just say yeah, I'm going to give this new guy, free rein to do what he wants. Or are we going to see like Damian Lillard saying oh I want Jason Kidd coming in which is a big mistake. But do we see Giannis doing the same thing? All I want some dude I'm that I think that I think that dude will probably be Jason Kidd that he asked for. I mean, Jason Kidd was the one who started started that team, he loved it. He's been on record multiple times talking about how much kid influenced his career and like how how close he had of a relationship they have. So what makes and Tony be fun there. I think my definitely we had there too long. I'd rather see Jan Tony in Portland and watch, Damian Lillard rap 4, d, a game other than Terry Stotts Milwaukee's, out of possibility. Wasn't it starts to Indiana? Wasn't that like that's also very legitimate? Yeah, it's not getting another one. Says Indiana will drop that bag on that one. Like we need a real good to come in and throw the hammer down and stops. Could do that. At least a little bit, but we took coaching Carousel another podcast, that's an hour topic on its own facts. I mean, for going to be real about this Milwaukee team, I mean, I think there's like three areas to come to mind for me when it comes to them. Continued struggles, it's, I think. First of all, it is Ian, it's all be honest is blameless in this. I think, you know, in game three, especially he has his weaknesses and I think, you know, we're seeing the same theme composer season, you know, he's, you know, settling for these three point shots, you know, they play him. I think Alan mentioned this coaching, the scheme is definitely a problem as well..

"I love about the podcast. We can discuss in more depth without the structure of television some of the events from last night. And there's something about dame that you and i of disagree on. And i know i'm going to be on the wrong side of history of this one. This part of me. That watches last night. Says wow what performance daimler imagine if he had more support around him. Just imagine if you have more support around him now. I'm not asking him to lead portland. But i'm asking portland and put more around this special player while he is at the peak of his powers. So since we're on the pot. I believe if the portland trailblazers losing a first round they will change head coaches. I really liked terry stotts. I believe that he's done as much with the least as it related to develop in young perimeter players around the league. Like i've been talking about this for years with him. It's one thing to get dame and cj from small schools the mama's boys and they become you know twenty point scores dame becomes an all nba performer. Always deeper into their roster. All of the friends smaller guys that they discovered it. You pop up in. All of a sudden like simon's is getting twenty twenty five points like they've always had those kind of guys that starts develop so. I actually believe he's done a good job in portland. Terry stotts has done a good job. Important thing that truly hurts them. Nerkez to wake assistant spouse can he just can't he can't help foul yokich. He cannot help it like he'll he'll come out the game he comes back and gets another phallic immediately for those that don't know he actually used to play for the nuggets. So imagine the nuggets to nerkez higher. Then they did the joker they had to sit back and watch both of those players earlier in their career developed and they decided they were going to get rid of the high draft choice to portland a keep the joker and not keep them both. This ticket is. They had a chance to keep them. Both they didn't do. So what are the guys went on to become a bp. Delete negatives too inconsistent. You look down at the status. She sometime twenty ten nine blocks big personality talking trash. But that's only like every so often not consistent enough because of that and losing this series. Potentially that's gonna cost terry. Stotts his head coaching job. Well i think the acquisition and the nervous they had like two years ago in the playoffs again first of all he hasn't been considered that's availability. He's injured. He was injured for large chunk of this series injured for last year had serious injury two years ago but there was a point in which nourish was performing the way they wanted him to but because of injuries and whatever reason he has not up to this point but mr rose. I got a line for you though. I got a line for you. That a lot of people talking around around the league and i've never gone fishing but i'm throwing out the poll right now. I'm acting like i'm really jacoby here. Let me tell you what's gonna be said around the league. I just mentioned that. Terry stotts. I believe will lose his job if they drop this first round series right. You know polish you do. They should do a boston did they. Should just let terry stop. Beat the gm. Now think about that interesting. I think that there's something that larry joe byrd said. Whenever larry bird says something listen. He said a coach's voice gets a little tired in the locker room. Just it just doesn't have the same impact after a few years whether it doesn't sound reflection truly on the coaches abilities but it's a reflection on sort of nature and i think that you saw that with stevens with the effort that the celtics put in starts. It might just be listening. We might just need a new voice in new energy. But i think they need a new energy on the team as well not just the goat. David jacoby was sarcasm. The way the portland trailblazers are about the fire. Terry stotts and making the gm. The boston.
