So, I've thought a lot about this and I think Joerger should get a 3-5 year extension. We are not going to do better than him. Lets look at what the perception is vs. what he's done
So those are the big misperceptions of coach Joerger. Now, lets talk about the things he does really well besides that
I honestly can't imagine we could go out and get another coach that ticks off all these boxes.
- He plays slow, has a boring offense.
- False. He plays to the strengths of the players he has on his team. This is what all good coaches do. Look at Mike Malone, he got the same bad rep here because we had Boogie. Now we don't have slow plodding players were playing as fast as possible.
- He doesn't play rookies and young players.
- False. We are currently playing the highest percentage of players minutes in their first or second year. I believe 45% of our minutes.
- Fox, Mason, Bogi, JJ, Giles, Bagley
- False. We are currently playing the highest percentage of players minutes in their first or second year. I believe 45% of our minutes.
- He doesn't develop young talent
- Can we just agree this is totally false by seeing how our young talent is playing? The difference is, he doesn't throw his young talent to the wolves just because we are in a rebuild. I personally think it's super smart and it's the reason this thread was started in the first place.
So those are the big misperceptions of coach Joerger. Now, lets talk about the things he does really well besides that
- He might draw the best ATO plays in the league
- Players seem to really enjoy playing for him
- He cares (look at what he did for BenMac)
- He has playoff experience
- Hes not afraid of the media or the big moment
- He sees the big picture
