From Doug Smith’s mailbag today:Q: Is this team, as currently constructed a better fit for Sam Mitchell’s coaching style/abilities?
Steph R, Glencoe
A: I believe it is, yes.
a) Steph, you meant INabilities. INabilities.
b) No shit, Doug.
c) So with less decisions to make, we’ve helped shore up one of Smitch’s major deficiencies: decisions. In retrospect, this is all Colangelo’s fault for providing too many options: take away square peg, leave round peg = no choice but to fit in round hole = Shatts. [Shudders]
d) Yep, now TWO players we can run ‘horns up’ for. Tantalizing.
