I’ll weigh in with my opinions in a bit, but don’t want to sway the answers with my thoughts in this post.
I like his perspective on learning how to coach Chet and integrating him into the team. He knows he doesn’t know things and I think that’s a sign of intelligence.
He calls for a lot of plays, has good post timeout plays, and kills it on the challenges.
His tinkering with the lineups don’t always yield the best result, and I don’t think we’re to the point where the best result is necessarily the goal.
I think it’s clear, especially in retrospect, that he executes legitimate game plans. Guard to guard pick n rolls, Chet/Shai two way game, feed Chet in the post, allow Dub to be the man for stretches, Shai + shooters. They are all things he’s tinkered with and will keep them in his back pocket for when it is time to win.
I like Daigs. He’s a good players coach.
