I hear there is a coaching position for the Washington Generals

Watching the GW vs USF that Hewitt was commintating, all Hewitt was saying with about 5 min left was how the coaches just needed a player to step up and make a play here. There was no metion of strategy or how they should attack, just this is where a player needs to step up and make a play.

That commentary probably would have made me want to throw something at the TV.

I feel like Hewitt would probably be an amazing coach for the And 1 mixtape tour team, if that's still a thing

I don't even think there is a level where he could coach successfully. He'd probably even tell 4 year olds to "step up and make plays"

Wait. I thought Hewitt was working on rebranding Mason as the Washington Generals. No?

Especially if the TV played for the other team

I used to think Lamar had a great future in coaching, but his analysis of Hewitt and DP really make me wonder about his ability to assess the game.

Do yourself a favor Lamar and stay in broadcasting. You have no future in coaching.

Chank, I think Lamar is an example of why talented players don't often make the transition to successful coaches.

I have interviewed thousands of high-level athletes over the years and almost all of them have an attitude that, no matter what the coach does, it's ultimately up to players to make plays.

This, obviously, ignores the enormous role that coaches play in training their players and putting them in position to be successful.

Unlike the NBA, college basketball is a coach's game. When you have a good one, you get good players and usually good results. When you have a guy like Hewitt, you lose.

Lamar may not want to admit that, but it's absolutely the truth.

And what I don't understand is when Lamar was calling games the past couple of years, he was always puzzled at the decisions Hewitt was making. The time outs. the poor decisions on which defense/offense to run etc.. But after the game and on his twitter account, he would put all the blame on the players and completely absolve the role Hewitt had in the losses.

The in game Lamar and the post game Lamar were two different personalities. Very strange.

Lamar does coach an aau team, but thats not proving anything. Imo, he trying to ride 2 donkeys with one a**.

18-22 year old talent w/o cultured coaching discipline gets P5 upsets like we all saw recently. No culture equals no anchor in stormy seas.
