John-Blair Bickerstaff: Currently The 6th Longest Tenured Head Coach

[Soar]

There are a bunch of statistical and analytical reasons to move on from JBB.

But less than that, sometimes you just need a fresh voice. As the thread says and I have mentioned before, JBB is one of the longest tenured guys in the NBA. You're talking about like Pop, Spoelstra, Kerr, and Malone being ahead of him.... some of the best to ever do it.

JBB isn't one of those guys. He's not that level of coach.

But sometimes you just need a different guy pushing the buttons or setting the tone. Look no further than the Guardians. Francona was an icon, but he was tired, he wasn't reaching players the same way, and he wasn't loving what he was doing. Bring in a fresh voice with new ideas in Vogt and the team is off and running.

In theory, I think new coaches could do that here.

Found the video where he basically says adjustments aren’t really a thing and it’s all about whoever executes better lol. If I’m a player, how can I trust this guy as the coach of the team?

GSW won titles because of the death lineup. Which was an adjustment, not just "better execution".

This dude is not a head coach, he's just not.
Last playoffs the cavs only scored over 100 pts one time, and it looks like this year is headed in that direction. G bush is right this dude has got no plan! This dude tanked to the 4th seed, because he thought Orlando would be an easy way to save his job. Altman has got to be sweating bullets right about now. He invested all these resources to build a race car, but put Bubba Gump as the driver.

So after last years playoffs there was some stat that basically all but 1 playoff game JBB has coached in (he made the playoffs in Houston one year) his teams have scored less than 100 points... jBB just has absolutely no idea what to do on the offensive side of things

This has been my qualm with the dude all season.

We should be running a high movement offense given the skill-sets of our bigs alongside our guys who are good shooting on the move in Strus, Merrill, DG & Don with Allen and Mobley heavily involved in backside screen and flare/cut actions off ball to keep the defense in compromising spots.

Instead we play ISOs and P&R as the vast majority of our possessions and hope for the best, then we're left in our current mess.
