  • An analogy please.  Terry coached a jazz ensemble with Williams the star.  Golding leads a barber shop quintet.  Golding is a control freak and his control comes from precision and movement creating shots I could make and leaving defensive players blinking with their hands up wondering what was supposed to happen, there.  Having said that, I think he is going to make TV a star.  He is closest and tallest to the basket.  Reach out and drop the ball in.  I think Boum is going to be option number two, but not from beyond the arc first.  First will be the short jumper or layup.  Remember, open, precision nobody to defend layup.  then, it is filling in by mixing it up to keep opponents off guard and running the legs into lead.  Bienemy can't shoot but does a lot of other things well.  Golding will have him making open layups.  Agnew and Kennedy will get theirs by playing defense and the fast breaks from it.  Golding will get the most out of his players because he will put them in position to play the most basketball minute for minute to be most successful.  I am not explaining it well.  You have some bosses that are assholes but they are damned effective and then you have some that aren't effective.  Also you have some bosses that are cool and they are effective and some that aren't effective.  The ineffective ones fall off.  The effective assholes do well.  The effective cool bosses lead people who would go to war for and with them.  They can be crazy good.  I think Golding has that to an extent.  How much?  We will see very quickly I would guess.

  • A great example of this is back in the 80s I watched some of the NM girls state tournament basketball games. 
    There was a team from one of the reservations.  The tallest girl may have been around 5-5, but not even sure she was that tall.  Other teams had 6 footers at center.
    This team ran a complex motion offense with screens and back door cuts that resulted in a ton of wide open layups and wide open outside shots.  They absolutely destroyed the other teams defenses.  They had no size but they had quickness and precision execution I have rarely seen in high school.

    A good coach designs an offense to maximize his players skills and create high percentage opportunities.  I am hoping to see that again.  Terry was Rabs 2.0.  He had an offense with plays and things that someone smart gave him.  Why wasn't he winning?  Must have been the players failure to execute.
