Despite my initial enthusiasm for this site, I seem to come back here less and less. Maybe it’s because of the lockout and there really isn’t much substantive to talk about, but maybe it’s the ongoing concept of forming snap opinions before any data has been generated. You aren’t in a position to assess whether Mark Jackson will be a solid coach or whether Reggie Miller will be a good executive, no matter how much you dislike them in the broadcast booth. Who knew Pat Riley could leave the broadcast booth and have the impact he ultimately had on the game as a coach, etc.? I don’t think it was obvious before the opportunity came around. And even then he took over a team that had just won a championship (and had Magic and Kareem). Did anyone have Phil Jackson earmarked for greatness when he took over for Doug Collins?

I appreciate you responding to my early emails when I couldn’t read this site on my smart phone, and I’m glad you now have an app that fixes that issue. It’s just too bad I don’t use it as much as I thought I would.
