I heard Samuel L Jackson learned a lot about basketball during the filming of Coach Carter. He would also give pretty good halftime speeches.

JVG was Zach Lowe's guest on his latest podcast. It certainly didn't make me want him as a coach less."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014
"I guess I got a little carried away there" ~ ezzbee Apr. 2015
"We only have one rule on this team. What is that rule? E.L.E. That's right's, E.L.E, and what does E.L.E. stand for? EVERYBODY LOVE EVERYBODY. Right there up on the wall, because this isn't just a basketball team, this is a lifestyle. ~ Jackie Moon

Heh, if he is in the D-league still in a few years I will be surprised.
He's terrible."

I'm actually fine with Casey as the coach, until/unless Masai finds a coach who he thinks is at that level.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum

We'd be the #1 media hit team in the world!!
Make it happen MasaiIf we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

The knock on JVG is usually his unimaginative offenses, with emphasis on feeding the post.
I don't really buy the "ride your players hard" complaint against coaches like him and Thibs. You almost never hear players complain about playing time, because it helps them pad their stats, gets them all-star recognition, and ultimately enables them to collect bigger pay cheques. You think Jimmy Butler is complaining about being "ridden hard" to his first all-star selection?
Here's a couple of good articles....
