2388362, Yes - spending years as an analyst exposes your IQ
Posted by Vex_id, Mon Nov-10-14 08:33 AM
but you disregarded that as well as his experience as
Pres. of Basketball Operations for Phoenix. Not sure why,
it's silly.

why is it silly? Because guess what Mark Jackson's credentials were
prior to landing the G.S. job? TV Analyst OMG'Z!!

This also is non-sense. How many great former player have turned into great coaches? It's a different paradigm and it doesn't follow that just because you were a great player, that it's an indicator of how you will do as a coach. Kerr's basketball IQ is not wholly contingent upon his player experience as a great jumpshooter. Silly.

>>bitter.

again, nobody's disputing that. But that doesn't mean you get to lobby cheap shots at his successor just because you don't like him and he YT.

And

What were Mark Jackson's credentials prior to taking the G.S. job?

Oh that's right - TV analyst.
