Message: [QUOTE="upperdeck, post: 5739648, member: 474"] People act like coaching is a one size fit all thing. Some coaches are good at amassing talent, perhaps getting that talent to play at a pretty high level. but many are not so good at when their main plan falls apart. Some are good at coaching talent up to their ceiling. Some are good at making more out of less. Some are better at getting guys to play as a team. Whatever your skill set is as a coach, you better be able to get the roster that does you the best. Guys like Callapari have lived off getting the high-level talent but often lost to lesser teams, but talent gave them lots of chances to be good. JB was kinda in the middle. He made runs with loaded teams and he made runs with decent teams and he made runs with teams that should never have gotten that far. I think guys like Self/Izzo have done a bit of both, stacked some pretty good talent but also developed players for runs. [/QUOTE]
