You've gone too far OE. Thibs forgot more basketball than all of us know. You think coaching is easy as it is in the YMCA. He's a professional basketball coach for a reason. No NBA franchise lets anyone coach the team. Look at his winning record as a coach and tell me that he honestly lacks the IQ to coach offense. Bulls fans point to their offensive ranking each year as proof of his ability to coach offense. NBA 2K fucked up a lot of people's heads and this is proof.
