Would love to start seeing some technical quotes regard offensive and defensive strategy mixed in with the Dr. Ruth psychobabble. Popovich and Carlisle aren't waxing poetic about how much they love Jonathan Simmons and Seth Curry after every game.“You can’t stick up for yourself on the bench,” Watson said. “Bench Ts put you on the bench in the second half. So it’s an accountable moment. But he’ll learn. He knows I love him. He’ll learn. He’ll move forward. Saw some aggressive accountability tonight. Transparency. The greatest sin of any coach is to lie to a player. The greatest sin ever. You can’t lie to players. Sometimes, love is honest and love is brutal.”
I don't think Xs and Os really apply much to Chriss' bench T. More than that, I disagree that Watson should talk BBall technicalities with the press. I think he gets himself in trouble with too many specifics with the media about the lineups. The press isn't part of "the family", and he should feed them polite generalities regarding the game. "Play the full 48 minutes." "Everyone on the roster needs to be ready when their number is called."Shabazz wrote:http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... /94528012/

Good adjustment from Watson today going big, though.
