His coaching is bad. The players skill is what’s getting them there. His inability to actually change lineups and run plays to help is why he is a bad coach

Right, because you don’t see how good we should be playing. For years I watched Tom Thibedeau who was missing his generational talent still get the Bulls to the playoffs. DJ Augustine as your pg, Nate Robinson, Kirk Heinrich, it didn’t matter because Tom raised the Bulls ceiling. FFs they were one of the first teams to run a point center with Joakim Noah and got Noah 4th place in the MVP race.
A great coach gets the most out of their team, plain and simple. Willie would be an excellent assistant coach and maybe one day he’ll be a great hc, but how much of our team that is overloaded with talents time will we have wasted? Championship windows are never as wide as any anticipates.
Look at how much Kevon Looney’s rebounding made a difference for Golden State’s last ring. How much Mike Miller going ballistic for 3 helped secure the Heat’s ring in the early 2010s. Great coaching really raises the ceiling for a team. I don’t think Willie does that yet. As hard as it is to believe on the precipice of our best season since 2008 and my entire fandom (2015), we are underperforming with this teams potential.

I don’t think he the worst nba coach. I don’t think he is bad either. I just think he runs lineups regardless of matchups (he has favorites) and slow making in game adjustments.
Besides for the clippers (2/7), we haven’t beaten a good team since the Mavs on 1/13. Yes, we are beating the teams we should beat. We just haven’t been super competitive vs the playoff teams. I don’t think we are scaring anyone at the moment.
I would love to see a season defining win with Z, Bi and Trey/CJ/Hawk having monster game to put the league on notice.

People are going to have some strong opinions with this one. I like Willie, I think he was and is the coach we needed. I hear his ‘rotations’ are stupid, and he doesn’t know how to call a timeout. Maybe, but I’m not on the sideline to have those opinions. We are winning, and building a winning organization. And, from the look of things, he has the respect of his players.

He is . We literally have Zion bi and cj all 20 ppg scorers and were 6th in the nba .
Those 3 players plus herb and others is what making us look good . Can I remind u we literally JUST beat 3 tanking teams in a row … not that special of a run

We have played well, but let’s not look past the things that are wrong. Our starting 5 has a terrible net rating 55 games into the season, we’ve blown a lot of leads, and we are shooting the 6th least amount of 3 pointers per game despite the 7th highest 3P%.

I’m pretty sure roughly like 27 of 30 fanbases think their coach is the worst coach in the NBA. Is Willie perfect? No. Is he as bad as a lot of people on here are claiming? No.

So many people here just to hate. Not even watch the games. We have a good record. We are a good team. Willie is a big part of that. This shouldn’t be so hard to accept.

My biggest n only gripe is in this Borrego offense why is Zion & BI not in PnR every play??? That is unstoppable esp if Zion quit wasting time and finally has dependable 15ft shot like David West
