This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Great players can make most coaches look smart by Jvan
Lea did a superb job of masking weaknesses, maximizing strengths, and adjusting on the fly. I haven't seen that same level of competence from Freeman - yet. He made the decision to install his system this year without tailoring it for the current personnel. I understand that thought process but the breakdowns during games have been ugly. The easy schedule has enabled Freeman to get away with it for the most part though. But as you say the jury is still out as to whether he is a strong game day coach.
