Pittsburg coach

[kcsu]

Im impressed. Pitt is going to be solid going forward.

He has them playing much better, but loved that he switched from man when we were up 3 early on to zone. Pushed the lead to 11 right quick after that.

I'm not. He's an awful coach. His game plan at the start of the game was amazingly bad, and his strategic adjustment to get them back in it was to have his players flop all over the place and smack our guys.

I’ll reserve judgment on him for at least another year with his own players. But he’s two and seven in the league now, and could end up with a losing record this year. Other than his one outstanding year thanks to Blake Griffin, I haven’t seen anything to indicate he’s a winner. The most Impressive thing I heard yesterday was every assistant coach used to be a head coach. If he fails, he’s failing on a grand scale.

Sweep the leg Johnny!

I’m not sold either. Anyone could do better than what Stallings did. Something about Capel I just don’t like and I have a feeling (completely unfounded) that he is a dirty recruiter.

He's better than Stallings no doubt. However, they are obviously spending time teaching that low level crap such as flopping, kicking the leg out etc. Numerous players react like they have been shot with little contact , flop and try to draw fouls and playing dirty. I understand he's trying to build a tough culture but playing that way is as soft as it gets. On the bright side, it might make it enjoyable to crush them annually.

Cuse!

Plays the worst style of basketball ever. Endorsed flopping and clutch and grab to make up for a lack of talent.

There is nothing to indicate that Jeff Capel is a good head coach.

Unless he has a number one pick on his roster.

I was looking for this exact post...Thank you! They actually spent time talking about how he’s been fired twice already. That tells you something. But he spends some time back with Coach K, and magically he’s got it all figured out. He’s such a giant step up from Stallings, so yeah they look much improved, but let’s give him a few years to get a roster full of his guys and see how things turn out.

Capel is clueless. He proved that when he admitted he didn’t know about a rule. But his name isn’t Boeheim so he’s got that going for him.
