Popular Post gsuteke Posted April 20, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 This is the first time since I registered on HS that I haven't felt like we could complain about our HC. This guy has done more with so much less than Woody or Drew ever had. Outside of Teague and Milsap Indiana just got beat by a bunch of role players. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I was sold in early January, better late than never I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNorthCydeRises Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 He's definitely a very good coach. The Hawks were well prepared today. The main issue with this team is talent, not coaching. The defensive scheme they ran today was excellent. I didn't like them leaving Korver in Isolation at times, but even then, he adjusted to that and started doubling. The guy that's getting exposed, is Vogel. The Pacers have offensive players on that bench, namely Chris Copeland. If you have to sacrifice a little defense to insert some offense, you have to do that . . . especially if your offense sucks. And as long as he sticks with Hibbert getting major minutes, he's putting the Pacers at a disadvantage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsuteke Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I posted my thoughts because I agree that this roster isn't very good. I'm excited to see what he can do with a major acquisition plus Horford. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTB Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I think if the hawks beat this #1 seed pacers…Coach Bud is going to have great influence on a major free agent in the coming seasons. Like someone (I don't remember who) already said on this board "ALL we need is 2 all stars" and we can win it ALL. Sap and Horford are already all stars, Teague is the finishing piece if he can continue this great play he has been showing. Im sold on bud now though I criticized him not too long ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted April 20, 2014 Moderators Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 I've been saying it all year - our top FA signing from 2013 was Coach Bud. Successful businesses start from the top down and it is safe to say after Koonin joining the bandwagon that we are solid from the ownership down to the coaching staff. Just gotta get the roster right which can be a lengthy process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfHawk Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Maybe I'm just paranoid, but is anyone else afraid of Bud possibly returning to San Antonio once Pop retires? As in this is a way for him to get some experience under his belt before taking the reigns over there... I hope I'm wrong, but it's just not too often we have something to look forward to. First Ferry, then Bud, and now Koonan, it's almost too good to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bud is here for the long haul. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member hawkman Posted April 20, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 SUPERB is how I would describe how well this team is coached. Bud started off bad with the DUI, but he has since impressed me with how precise and crisp this team looks with him at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Sothron Posted April 21, 2014 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Drew was not a bad coach. Just had to say it. But yes, Bud is definitely a good coach. I just have to laugh when I think about what Woody No Goody would have done if he had to deal with this roster and all the injuries. Bud kept this team fighting through it and still playing hard with good offensive and defensive execution. This is the first time since Fratello was our coach that I truly love our coach. Just typing that makes me realize how long ago that was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
