Gamesgtd | Magic

I’m excited to see what Suggs can do with an actual creative defensive coach. As amazing as he has been previously I felt Mose handcuffed him a lot by playing a switch everything defense all the time. We see what Castle can do on that end on no offense to Castle but Suggs is on another level defensively. He may have a top 5 defensive season for a guard in next year.

Suggs got alll defense honors with Mosley. Suggs is so electrifying to watch on defense. I even have a new category for him: defensive playmaker. I dont know how much Sean can improve on that, honestly.

And Mosley is a damn good defensive coach. I understand you want tonsee different schemes. But unless the offense starts coming alive, its just stuff at the margins.

There is a reason why Pop had Wemby bringing the ball up his rookie year same with Kidd and Cooper Flagg. It’s damn near impossible to find an actual point guard who isn’t just a SG in disguise. Your best player better be able to sometimes run an offense in today’s game.

orangekingo | Spurs

It’s the way he’s sculpted the defense AROUND Wemby that’s been so impressive. He has gotten our individual players like Devin Vassell and Julian Champaginie playing very very good defense and the entire roster has bought in on the identity and scheme. It has flowed so beautifully all year despite mostly sucking ass the last two years even WITH Wemby.

RspectMyAuthoritah | Lakers

Coaches are involved in strategizing the roster construction that goes on in the offseason. If a team can’t even start interviewing coaches until later then they’re at a disadvantage to teams that have a coach. Or do you think front offices just do what they want and tell the coach to pound sand and figure it out?

AngryUncleTony | 76ers

5 | a day ago

It’s not just for hiring, it’s planning the offseason. Teams start working on draft prep right away, if you don’t know your coach and schemes that’s a huge time lag compared to other teams. Plus the coaching staff has time between the end of the regular season and post-season to plan stuff like OTAs and make adjustments to schemes and playbooks.

Sitting still for 1.5 months until the playoffs are over is brutal for a rebuilding team.

Because if they don’t, the teams without coaches and GMs are at a disadvantage in the offseason. They would have to spend a chunk of their offseason hiring while most other teams get a head start building for next season.

This is definitely one of the unavoidable painful aspect of sports, no one is really in the wrong here, just sucks for a team losing a top tier assistant coach.

It’s way more common in NFL tbh, and it’s highkey responsible for a lot of year to year fluctuation in team performances. Look at the Eagles and their constant rotating carousel of coordinators, and their bipolar alternating performances year by year

He definitely deserves this chance. Sidenote, still feels weird to me you can hire coaches from teams still in the playoffs

Isn’t he known as a defensive coach? Hope he gets some good offensive assistants.

Good hire, deserved a shot at being a head coach. Interesting the Magic hired 2 former long time Mavs assistants and gave them their shot as first time head coaches.
