innovations don't win championships...coaching does

coach k has one more title in way fewer years

Carmello just dropped 35 in Team USA's win against Italy.

If Carmello didn't show up Italy could have won by 20, easily.

Wade was nice too, so was Paul.

LeBron was non-existant.

With this win Team USA took group D.

Looked sluggish in the first half plus Italy shot the lights out. Wade and especially Anthony took over in the 3rd. Lebron looked off today as did most of the team.

in an era where small schools have no chance of winning anything ever? in the eras dean smiths played, talent was more widespread and small schools had a much higher probability of making the final four because of the fact all the talent wouldn't be hoarded by the same 6-7 schools. i respect college coaches of the 60's, 70's, and 80's infinitely more then i do of any coaches in the 90's.

The Ginoblies are gonna KICK OUR ASS, there is no doubt in my mind about this. We still have a tendency to go one on one against defenders too many times.

i still think the usa can beat argentina. they are more gelled now then they were in 04 and have a more of a team mindstate. that game vs italy was crucial. they were put in a hole and were able to come out of it. defintley passed their one big test thus far.

your argument is null and void considering that recent climate of college b-ball.

until recently you had to worry about the top players stringing you along then jumping to the NBA and fucking you over completely recruiting wise. even with the new rule in place, coaches still have to recruit lower-tier players just to ensure they will actually stay more than one year and not completely fuck up the recruiting process.

none of the coaches in the other decades had to worry about this and if they did, best believe it would have hurt them a lot too. add in the 10 & 5 rule that's in place now and it fucks current coaches even more.

back in the days, most coaches got time to build a program and do their thing, but now in the days where college sports are big business these guys get 2 years and if they don't have a winning record they're gone.

i'd have to say that being a coach right now is definitely harder than back in the days.

Wow, all that talk about the "right way" to play and Coach K parading shot-up troops in front of the players and Dwyane and 'bron saluting after dunks and having no Iverson to make a statement and....

US is still playing for the bronze.

I call it, curse of teh Gilbert. I personally am laughing about it. Greece?!

As much as Nocioni and Ginobili elicit hate from me, I wouldn't mind seeing former Temple Owl Pepe Sanchez take another World 'chip. I am enjoying watching Wizard property Juan Carlos "La Bomba" Navarro. Bien!

Brougham33 · Post by **Brougham33** » Fri Sep 01, 2006 12:06 pm

Greece was running some crazy new play...the pick and roll????? Good stuff.

Honestly...I can't say I am shocked....because I told myself the whole "we are a new team only together for a few weeks and they are experienced teams and the rules so don't be shocked if they lose"....but I am shocked. This is not what I expected...even though I sorta did. What did Greece shoot lik 80% for 3 quarters? Cmon...Nobody stepped up.

500 thousand miles from japan in a secluded mansion in LA, with his aviator glasses, and i'm an emo thug image.....Kobe Bryant was watching this game and snickering.....saying to himself "I'll be your Hero at the olympics, America. And then, you will finally revel in my greatness like you always should've. MooWoo.....MooWooHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHA"

dont talk about shane battier like hes the captain of this team. point the finger at the co captains wade, james, anthony. these guys have no pride at all. i dont like kobe but if he was playing he wouldnt be having this. plus jerry colangelo needs to be fired.
