People hate but Marty was a great Coach.
He was not a great talent evaluator.
He was not an innovator - he did not dream up some new offensive or defensive scheme.
Marty had the ability to elevate the play of all those that played for him.
Marty was a motivator.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I'd give him an 8+.
He was too friendly. He was too willing to let a GM (Cleveland and Here) dictate his team.
It appeared that he finally grew some testes the 2nd half of that year he spent in Washington.
In SD he was a completely different HC.
To this day he's the only HC we've had that I feel any sympathy at all for...
