I never said or thought of Luke as a intelligent player. He was quite athletic until his back started giving out.

That's my point. MEDIOCRE Player At the best but made a great coach. You can't always determine or predict who will be a good coach and who won't. At this point what Rose can do is all speculation

Luke was a bit player every year the Lakers had any semblance of talent. He only averaged over 20 minutes per game twice in his career.
Playing ability is mostly irrelevant for coaches.
You aren't getting my point.
Playing ability is mostly irrelevant for coaches. It is their knowledge and ability to communicate to players that matters.
Luke Walton showed he had a high basketball IQ with his play, so the fact that he is a decent coach should not surprise anybody. Rose does not seem like a very intelligent person, so it would shock me if he becomes a successful coach.
Exactly. When the Shaq/Kobe Lakers would get out of sync, Phil would put Luke in because he knew the offense inside and out. He learned it faster than anyone who ever played for Phil.
Phil would put Luke in, Luke would get the offense back on track and then Phil would take him out.
Not really. The formula seems to be, the worse the player, the better the coach. lol
Yes, for the most part this is true.
It kind of makes sense if you think about it.
I get what you're saying, I just don't agree with you. I think Rose has showed some intelligence and good instinct on the court - Now that does not mean he can translate what he did for the Bulls before being injured all of the time into being a good coach - but first he has to decide if he wants to be a coach, then he has to hook up as an assistant and see if he can develop into a good coach. We all might be surprised and I'm not saying that he will do that - I'm just saying it is possible. No one can say it's impossible, but I simply don't think Derek Rose is as stupid as you say. I haven't seen any links or evidence to demonstrate thatYou aren't getting my point.

It does seem like that's the way it is though - I agree that that Derek Rose being a head coach some day may be unlikely, but I don't agree that it's guaranteed that happens.Man......I'd need a Brnks truck for all the rings I'd bring in then. I'm pretty sure some would say I'm mildly sucking at basketball.
I would be highly interested in what Derek Rose has actually done to demonstrate that he couldn't be a good coach.No. It's actually pretty clear on whom could turn out to be a good coach later on. Athleticism and talent don't factor into coaching at all. That's why Magic said he could never be a coach. He knew he was just more talented and that normal players wouldn't be able to see what he sees.
As @tlance pointed out, coaches have to be smart and have a certain aptitude to make it in the industry; along with an impeccable work ethic. Rose couldn't even pass an SAT on his own. Rose wouldn't make a good coach. I'm willing to bet a year-long avatar should that ever present itself. Walton and Rose shouldn't be lumped into the same category, like.......at all. Luke Walton is nowhere near as athletic as Rose is/was.
Whatever - Time will tell. I doubt that Rose becomes a coach myself, but that doesn't mean it can't happen and it doesn't mean he couldn't ever be an assistant coach like Brian Shaw was for quite a few years.
