When you have a top 5 player, a bad coach is exposed in a first round 4 vs 5 matchup or maybe in the second round. That is when a bad coach sticks out. Not fighting for a playin spot. Now again, he was awful. Look at Morey for instance. Year after year, with an elite player he constantly finds players on the edges and almost always wins close to 50 games. Most of those years it is with a coach that most would not say is elite.
Watching the practice game today, it just showed me how bad our roster design is. San Antonio had fringe guys in the game as well, but they were big, physical and could make a play. They constantly got baskets at the rim or by rebouding misses. Most of our points were shooting threes with the occasional drive.
My goal for the offseaon are the following: Find a trade for a good established 4th starter. Find a low cost veteran or under the radar youngster who can be a top 8 rotation player, and be aggressive in the second round or undrafted market. This will take things that this front office hasn't had success in yet. And, please have a good fitting roster that allows your star(s) be stars. We will talk the draft pick at a later date once that is set.
On the management side of things, Dallas will NEVER be mistaken for SA...
