You know, the thing that sucks is I'll tell you in all the years I've spent getting the chance to talk to people about basketball, whether it's front office people in the last 25 years, working with all these different coaches when I was at ESPN and we'd be in the same room together and I'd be doing like maybe late night TV or something.

Tibbs is without question the most impressive single person I've ever talked to about basketball. Like he made me after five minutes go like, holy shit, do I not know anything? Like I've been watching this game a long time. And He is so incredibly impressive. I think there's absolute buy-in. There's kind of like a toughness resetting that he brings when he comes into the franchise.

But you're right, Big Cat. It seems to run its course. And the minute stuff, I don't really think it's as egregious this year. I thought that Bulls run where it looked like Joaquin couldn't even make it up the floor. And you're like, dude, you're wearing these guys down. It just seems to be, look, I think the NBA, that's the job. I don't even know that it's specific to Tibbs.

I think it's the job where it is very hard to get everyone to keep listening to you after you've had this, this job four or five years. So, I mean, there's some other basketball stuff we get into why they got away from the cat Brunson combo stuff. There was a defensive adjustment to cat. The team started doing playing with smaller guys.

but you know that part always frustrates me the coach does something different and then you lose and then it means the coach is a moron and it's like well you know would you rather lose without any adjustments or attempted anything and putting Mitchell Robinson the starting lineup so I feel bad for him because I know how smart he is and I think he's a terrific coach but it's very hard in this this job to have it longer than five years yeah it is the league we the longest outside of Eric Spolstra and Steve Kerr who is the longest tenured coach now that Tibbs has been fired
