I'm Italian, hes Italian, and even though I am biased because he is Italian, I still say without a doubt, NO!!! He is absolutely horrible at coaching. He has no control over players, and no respect. A good coach can run different systems based on the circumstances, he can not. He has less than 5 plays up his sleeve and was successful in PHO because of a younger Steve Nash. Steve ran the system and made D'Antoni look good. So much that he has received HC jobs that he never was worthy of in the first place. This guy is the high hopes rookie player that has a good year and ends up getting way too many chances to show what he did of that one good year. It would have happened by now.
