I am not advocating for that style of coaching but just saying...

Then you also have the issue that some might hate them because they're riding pine and they know that will impact their next contract. So they might hate him but that can also be a reflection of selfishness on their part.

Losing will impact the coach's and for that matter pretty much everyone else's contract too. So one can argue it's more important to the collective to win, then it is for the fringe player to be gifted minutes

So I agree with Fishmike that the secret lists are stupid (and probably had multiple entries from Cam Reddish)

For example, i'm sure this is at least referring to the Bleacher report. supposedly had 108 current players asked but it doesn't say how many answered. Of those who did answer 43 % chose Thibs. SO if all 108 answered thatmeans 48 current players hated Thibs the most. Does anyone beloeve that? Point being those lists are crap and just another form of click bait.

lastly for a guy who is supposedly hated he does seem to have a lot of pretty good current and former players who liked him.

Beach or indoor?

i played both. I have one of those complexes (small man who punishes himself playing sports meant for tall dudes). Played beach for a while but got tired of getting my ass kicked by squids. then did grass which was fun. But mostly played club indoors and that is where the Turkish guy fit in

I'm old. Played in the days of side-out scoring and pre-libero

Seems treacherous. Congrats to Andrew for being a brave soul

He might be out there cheering his daughter on when someone like Hornacek's daughter walks by and then Mrs. Andrew will be pissed. If you look at that stuff you're toast for looking; if you deny looking you're toast for lying about looking (even if you weren't looking). No win situation.
