Sorry, my mind isn't spitting anything else out.
All I can think of now are negatives for Casey. I haven't seen enough of Nurse to claim any negatives on his behalf.
Casey has used very bad rotations frequently
Casey has allocated minutes irrationally
Casey has leaned heavily on his veterans, even when they were performing poorly
Casey has shown little creativity in timeouts or short clock situations
Casey has not adapted well to other teams offences
Casey has not held players accountable for poor defensive play
Casey has thrown players and assistants under the bus on occasion
I realize this is probably a highly biased and ill informed summary, but Casey has driven me nuts numerous times over the last 6 years. Maybe you guys can add to or subtract from this list.
