"The NBA is all bail out guys. Coaches work their entire careers from college to film room to assistant to head coach in the nba to not have to coach in the last 2 minutes of close games. They're bailed out by Kevin Durant or Jaylen Brown or Jayson Tatum or Luka. Isolation guys.  Top of the key, maybe you get a pick and roll and a switch. But it's an iso and he's either going to step back and hit a three or get fouled. The coach doesn't have to draw that up. He doesn't have to do anything. Phil Jackson had his precious triangle offense but what was the play he called in game 6 in the Delta Center? When Mjeff pushed off on Russell? Nothing Phil was sitting in the lotus position on the bench smoking a cigar. That's the NBA way...

Kevin Young is an NBA guy if you haven't heard! Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul, James Harden! He was brought up on bail out iso players who could get their shot at the end of games. But he doesn't have one of those guys on BYU. Dallin Hall is too small. Richie Saunders can't create the separation of the dribble. Egor isn't strong enough to get to the free throw line. So KYU has to work his butt off at the end of games and out of timeouts. He's getting Richie the ball like it's a kickoff return, he's got a wedge block. He's gonna get to the free throw line. Young is coaching his tail off. And he's dancing in the locker room. I don't think it's possible to have this much fun if you're coaching the Brooklyn Nets."
