Desired Characteristics in the Next Head Coach

[Rain Man]

It'll take me a few minutes to get the poll put up, so in the meantime, discuss why NASA hasn't used dog breeding philosophies and selective breeding to produce little tiny astronauts for Mars missions.

How about someone closer to God than Tim Tebow?

Further, most chose to draft best available over best fit for system.

This proves that most dont know what they want. It also shows most dont know what they are talking about. I find that hard to believe with all the experts we have here at CP.

I'd interpret that collection of responses to mean that we want a coach who doesn't coddle the players, who drafts BAA and develops them, who isn't tied to any one system but instead can design a system around his players, and who can make effective in-game adjustments. That's a pretty tall order though.

Yeah, I guess so. If you consider a players coach as one who coddles. I wasnt looking at it that way. But then I was looking at "an Xs and Os guy" to mean one who chooses the sysrem over the player.

Maybe I was reading something into it that wasnt there. Wouldnt be the 1st time. I would agree with your description as who I would want. It shouldnt be that tall an order.
