Mike Brown apears to be making alot of mistakes, but, he's got a tough assignment ...the pieces just aren't there. But, the ones he's got he isn't getting their potential out of them either. He's not just a rookie coach, but a very young and inexperienced coach, period. One that progressed very fast to get up to a head coaching position, but, he's not ready for primetime .,.,obviously. He's 3/4 of the way through his 1st year as a head coach, at any level...at the age of 35. To suggest he's not learning fast enough I think we have to get things in perspective loking at the big picture here. At 35 I was head coaching my 1st high school team, and I'd spent 12 years in coaching ...five at the college level. So, I can appreciate the learning curve he's been on the past 4-5 years in the NBA. I think we have a winner in this guy, but, we gotta realize that 3/4 of the way into his 1st season as a head coach, with a team that has over half it's roster filled with limited, one dimensional role players isn't providing him with alot of tools to work with. He's in an impossible situation, with a team needing alot. In aperfect world he's earning his stripes as a head coach with a rebuilding team out of the playoff spotlight, because he's at a point in the season where he's going to be getting exposed ....we gotta expect it and accept the reality of the situation.
