    Are you implying American coaches are too soft? Fucking obi and iq are thibs whipping boys. He always yells at his players, especially the young ones. Coach pop also shits on his team when they aren’t playing well through the media.

    Imagine these guys coaching Ben Simmons

    Evidence of the catastrophic European shortage of chill pills

    NBA coaches did this more before one of them almost got choked to death

    It’s very different in Europe. Coaches are demanding and scolding you from the very moment you start playing. Everyone know’s it’s not personal and they’re just trying to get the best out of you.

    “Fuck You Gigi Datome” is an all time great quote.

    “In your eyes you’re good guys. Fuck you EVERYBODY” LOL

    It’s fun to imagine that this is how David Blatt got fired from the Cavs. Probably nowhere close to what actually happened, but it’s funnier this way.

    NBA coach would be like, “um hi guys, can we try a little on defense. I know we like to just play offense and jack up threes off ISO’s all day, but uhhhh a little defense would be nice. Im sorry I just had to point it out. Thanks”

    This wouldn’t work on NBA players though – they make too much money to reasonably take something like this. Even in the US, pro coaches can’t get away talking how college coaches talk.

    Europeans in general are more demonstrative. NBA players have to much power to put up with that shit.

    NBA players get away with way too much, but don’t mistake this for smart, intelligent, effective coaching. I was coached like this growing up (in the US), and it’s not beneficial. You live in a state of fear of making a mistake and getting chewed out, and you play super hard and intense, thus it gets some short term results, but you sacrifice a lot of growth and development when you trap your players in this mindset. Also, this isn’t so much European coaching as “old school” and “undeveloped/primitive” coaching, because European football doesn’t use these techniques.

    LMAOOOO “Fuck you, Okay! FUCK YOU GIGI DATOME!”

    I’m pretty sure Spo is like this lmfao

    So euro coaches act like toddlers a lot more than nba coaches. Lol.

    I mean this is just inefficient communication in the time it takes you to wear yourself out screaming you could’ve gotten out few sentences of actually constructive feedback

    Let’s be honest, this is probably not the most effective approach, but damn would it be satisfying to see some dudes in the NBA get yelled at like that.

    I mean we saw cosches screaminb in nba , personally think it’s kinda childish

    Zeljko is an all-time basketball genius that can only be compared to the likes of Pop, Riley, Phil, Auerbach, etc.

    He would be perfect in the NBA, if he could stay calm, but he can’t. He wouldn’t even interview for an NBA job.

    > It was the story of a job interview with the Detroit Pistons in 2002, after he won the EuroLeague with Panathinaikos in Bologna. **Obradovic looked the other way upon hearing the word ‘interview’.**

    > “There was never any concrete contact. There was a time when an NBA executive called me because a team wanted to do an interview with me,” he recalled.

    > “And I told him: **’I’m giving interviews to journalists. If someone doesn’t know who I am or what I can do, it’s not serious.’**

    > Maybe I was wrong, but I am the way I am, and I am very happy in Europe. Now I can’t ask for anything more in life”

    NBA coaches not named Gregg Popovich*

    Going to adopt this as my new personality at work. These nurses and nurse’s aids I work with are not going to know what hit them!

    “In your eyes, you’re good guys.”

    “Fuck you everybody!”

    I need that on a Nike shirt.

    American players are too soft for this kind of treatment, soft AF players and their feelings. Shit look what happened to Ben Simmons, got criticized after that playoff series and than went from Allstar to irrelevant
