I haven't liked Quin since Missouri. I was willing to give him a chance, but honestly never thought he was a good coach. His lack of adjustments year after year makes him mediocre at best. His inability to get players to fully buy in (what made Phil Jackson a good coach) makes him abysmal.I hesitated to put much blame on Quin, but on this issue I had to wonder. Donovan talks a lot about watching film. I imagine as a team they watch film and discuss what they're doing right and wrong. On this Quin needs to que up a series of times when DM failed to pass to an open Gobert. Show one and tell him in that situation you pass to Rudy, and again in this situation you pass to Rudy, over and over. Then next game que it up again and ask DM what he didn't understand about passing it to Rudy when he's open down low, especially when he fights for position and gets it. Next game, tell him he either gets Rudy the ball in these situations or he can sit. Next game, he misses Rudy, call a time out and sit his ***.
If Quin isn't gone, problems will remain.
It isn't just Dons lack of passing to Rudy, he slows the ball down, overdribbles, walks the ball up the court (lazy backcourt violation arguably cost us the Denver series), and wants to make hard flashy passes instead of good ones. A good coach would keep that in check, and have assistants to ensure proper development and team building happens on and off the court.
