Aspiring_Hobo | POR

I’m asking what things you’ve seen that had you come to that conclusion. Like Xs and Os stuff.

axnjxn00 | Magic

1 | 20 minutes ago

Coach Mose does not do xs and os. He has no plays. He has no offensive sets. His end of play calls are give it to paulo and let him cook.

That said he runs great defensive schemes. He had a great strategy against the pistons in that regard. Him putting suggs on ausar was good, since suggs could just play strictly as the help defender. His scheme to never allow duren to get open lanes to the basket completely neutralized and rattled him.

BlackScienceJesus | Pelicans

4 | an hour ago

Mosley’s reliance on iso actions is absolutely disgusting. He never gets Paolo the ball close to the basket. It’s always Paolo iso starting 30 feet from the rim. The off ball sets are nonexistent. Give me a floppy set once in a blue moon.

Aspiring_Hobo | POR

1 | 24 minutes ago

Who would you like being the initiator in a floppy set? That is, who would you like being at the top of the key and which player(s) would be best to set screens for Paolo? How do you think it could be defended and how could you counter that? Do you think floppy would play into Paolo’s strengths?

Sorry for all the questions I just don’t watch the Magic much and am curious

BlackScienceJesus | Pelicans

1 | 14 minutes ago

Floppy wouldn’t be for Paolo. It would be for Bane. A floppy set is just an off ball set where a good shooter is near the basket, then gets a screen, and pops out to the 3pt line. It’s one of the most basic and simple off ball actions.

For Paolo I’d like to see him get an entry pass and then do a big big PnR. One of the things that Willie Green actually did well for the Pelicans was getting Zion the ball near the block, and then JV would set a hard screen which would give Zion just enough space to get to the rim. That’s the type of play that can get your best player space even when your team has bad spacing. It also reduces the dribbling because he starts 9 feet from the basket instead of 25 which would lower the turnovers for Paolo.

Jamahl has a track record of getting Orlando out of the gutter, he never blamed any of his players for any of the losses. Yet people hate him as a candidate for whatever reason. He’s a perfect rebuilding coach, this is exactly what NO needs. These cats need to learn how to play defense if they want to be a competent team in the future, he’d be a perfect coach for the next 3-4 years to build a culture.

Folks really only caught wind of him when it was clear we wouldn’t be able to take the next step and the fanbase was getting noisy about it, but he did a tremendous job getting us to where we are and I’ll always have that admiration for him in that.

I really don’t understand the coaching musical chairs that go on every offseason.

If I was a GM I’d be hiring from college, g league or assistant NBA coaches.

roastedhambone | Thunder

1 | 2 hours ago

Well look at the list of coaches who’ve won recent titles, Vogel was fired by the Magic before going to the lakers and winning a ring. Bud was fired by the hawks before going to the bucks. Malone was fired by the kings before going to the nuggets. Not everyone is going to succeed everywhere, doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t ever succeed. I’m sure every team would love to sign a Pop or Spoelstra, but being able to identify a great head coach with no prior experience is tough

crustydemonburgers | Thunder

0 | 37 minutes ago

Not really though. Mark was g league, Mazulla was assistant coach, Malone coached the Kings for literally one season with an ass roster before he went to the Nuggets, Steve Kerr was a player, Mike might be an exception, Any coach could win with LeBron James, Nurse was assistant coach, Kerr again twice, Ty Lue was assistant coach, Kerr again, Popovich was an assistant, Spoelstra was an assistant, Carlisle an exception, Phil Jackson is Phil Jackson, Doc Rivers an exception, Popovich again, Pat Riley, Pop, Larry Brown, Pop, Phil Jackson, Pop, Phil Jackson, Rudy Tomjanovich was Rockets assistant coach, Phil Jackson again. That’s 35 years of NBA champions with only 4 of them being recycled head coaches that got fired.

roastedhambone | Thunder

So you’ve got

Vogel
Bud
Malone
Doc
Carlisle

Who were all fired before winning a chip
And then you’ve got

Kerr
Pop
Spo
Phil Jackson
Pat Riley

Who are all going to do down as (or already are) historically great coaches, which aren’t growing on trees

Which accounts for almost all the last 35 chips, you can’t act like it’s an exception to a rule when it’s really not

Rondo consulted with the Bucks this year and from what our broadcast had said worked closely with development for Ryan Rollins & KPJ, and I think they also mentioned he’d been working with Sims in the final stretch where he started putting it together?

Rollins & Sims had really good years individually, and KPJ was KPJ. Whether or not you want to credit that 100% to Rondo is another thing - but I def think he could provide something as a development coach

[Scotto] Jamahl Mosley has admirers with the New Orleans Pelicans, as previously reported on HoopsHype. While the Pelicans have already begun interviewing coaches, including Darvin Ham, Rajon Rondo, and Steve Hetzel, Mosley is expected to be a name to monitor for their head coaching job.
