Lebron’s Style

Coaching Dynamics

But they won the title that year, where they beat a 73-win team? Fixed it but too late.”
Always interesting to see how college coaches deal with NBA egos. Hurley’s good at working the refs but benefits more from the absolute authority of coaching a college team, in contrast to NBA coaches, who these days are more viewed as co-workers by the players instead of leaders.”
