Zanimljivo, Manu krade posao Popovichu
In the last two minutes of the most recent Spurs-Hornets game, it looked like Manu Ginobili was San Antonio’s coach. He did all of the talking during every timeout and Pop was doing the listening. Ginobili even took Pop's chair. What’s with that? — Lou, Springfield, Mass.
It’s nothing more than a sign of Pop’s self-confidence and total sense of security. After all, he’s on the bench and the players are on the court, so it’s impossible for him to totally discern what’s really going on out there. Red Holzman occasionally did the same thing, i.e., asking his most veteran players what was what and then heeding their advice.
This is a terrific way to make the players responsible for their own performances while also demonstrating the coach trusts and respects them. Rather than Ginobili’s usurping Pop’s authority, what you saw was an exercise in togetherness. Just imagine a less secure coach — like Vinny Del Negro or John Kuester — or an egomaniac — like Nellie — doing the same thing.
This is just another reason Pop is one of the best coaches ever.
Mislim da istu stvar radi Phil Jackson, ili ne zove time-out pa neka se igrači snađu ili ga zove pa zna šutit (kako je rekao Kukoč jednom).
Eto vam trik kako to rade največi treneri za vrijeme utakmice

ne rade NIŠTA, u tome je tajna

igrači su na terenu a ne trener, kako mi idu na racku treneri u Europi, samo što ne dobe infarkt (ili ga dobe kao Peras) i žila im iskoči na čelu od dernjave, nema slobode u igri samo diktatura.
