How Coaches Ruin Great Players
Is Jeff Van Gundy ruining Steve Francis, while not making the Rockets any better? I tend to think so. All of Francis' numbers are down, and Houston isn't winning more games than last year. In fact, they have become a horrible boring team - averaging 4 fewer points than any other team in the West.
Coaches can get away with turning teams ugly - if they can win games. But to give up exciting play for no real gain, well, I just wonder how long Houston's management will put up with it.
