I’m saying they had a healthy team outside of Butler missing a little over a month. With no drama then like the Spurs had that season.

You are isolating one season where they still had a top big man who averaged over 20 points where they barely managed to make the playoffs as proof that Pops is a legendary coach. Yes, he is a great coach but "legendary" starts to come in to question when you can't lead a team of NBA players to a MEDAL in the FIBA World Cup. Not GOLD necessarily, but a fucking medal.

He is. You won’t change my mind or most likely others’ with what you post. Good day.

Over the past few years and culminating with this FIBA loss, my opinion of Pops has diminished. At one point I considered him in the conversation for the GOAT coach. Now, I'm re-evaluating his place among the all time great coaches, I suggest you and everyone else do the same.

Looking good, dude. It's too bad it had to come at the expense of USA losing but it was eventually going to happen with the stars of the league being so disinterested lately.

I don't see the problem, I didn't even know about this event, and the players don't care either obviously. They care about the Olympics, and that's enough for me too.

I put this loss on Pop. If he was a better coach Team USA would have won.

Not sure why anyone is surprised. This is literally a mediocre group that was put together in middle of August. You guys really shocked that they're losing to other teams with quality NBA players that been playing together for years?

The fact they made the playoffs under those circumstances is almost legendary. Sit out the Pop debates. You will lose every single time.
Don't know you, Sir.

But, you are clearly very wise.
