MHSL82, do you also like to sing at karoke bars, or only on videos you upload to YouTube (under the disguise about posting about the Jazz head coach)?
Both. Why limit yourself?

What are some things you do limit yourself in?
Bad post.
Oh, I meant, why limit yourself, as in the reader's self - in this case, Nuraman. Why limit Nuraman's self?

Can't say I'm disappointed with these rankings (see: 1, 15, 18, 29, 30).

Would have liked Hornacek to get his number, 14, and I don't know why people give Anthony Davis love but not his coach. If Davis is succeeding despite the surrounding talent, why wouldn't their coach get the same respectively in coaching ranks, unless Davis is succeeding despite his coach?

What's funny is that the online NBA bloggers (a different group than the above ESPN forecast), liked Monty William's coaching last year. And his use of Holiday, Gordon, Evans, and Brian Roberts.

Maybe they want a different style of play. Or different rotations. We will see.
Golden State changed coaches, then made changes in their rotation (using mostly the same players), and did better.
Can't dislike the move until I see who they replace Williams with. I liked Williams though.
Quin talked about the slow pace in this article. He went into the season thinking the Jazz were going to play faster but as the season went on he decided that it was more important to focus on defensive improvement. He specifically mentioned how playing at a fast tempo was not a good thing for the team with Trey on the floor. It's still something Quin wants from the team, but he just doesn't have the players.
To me this is a sign of a great coach. Even though he wanted to play fast, he knew it wasn't going to work so he adapted to his players. Bryce Cotton was the only PG on the roster who was capable of pushing the pace and we all saw how effective that was. As the personnel changes the way the team plays will also change.
There are too many factors that lead to slow play to list all, but the most important were:
- lack of open floor ball handlers and offensive weapons
- poor execution leading to late shot clock situations
- low amount of turnovers created
- outstanding offensive rebounding
I don't ever expect us to be near the top of the league in pace, but once we get better guard play we'll see the pace pick, whether that be from player development or player transactions. It's very bad if you can only play one style, but it's generally better to be able to play slow than fast. In playoff series, the pace of play tends to gravitate towards the slower paced team. For example, the GSW-MEM series was played at a very slow place (which goes to show how great GSW is).

The idea of playing at a faster pace -- to take advantage of Davis' athletic gifts -- is a frequent talking point in New Orleans after the Pelicans, under Williams, ranked 27th in pace the past season.
