All of those rings and he can't even get a job in the league as a HC. nikka got the Pacers in the ECF with his defensive schemes.

He only has one person to blame.


Kurt Rambis.
Can't knock every Triangle disciple because 1 of them failed. All he's done is win. Dude helped turn Paul George into an allstar. The Pacers don't have any stars yet they're about to be in the NBA finals in 2 weeks, simply amazing.























And yes I have Indy knocking out Miami. Pacers/Grizzlies Finals. The small markets can finally eat.

That's just it. He's a triangle disciple, so that scares everybody because everyone thinks he'll just do what got him rings: run some form of the triangle like Kurt did. Remember, when the Lakers won, Kurt was hailed as a defensive smart guy too, and then he got a HC gig and proceeded to refuse to defend the 3 and call timeouts like Phil did. So while I hate using the word "blackball" like many of y'all do, he's getting fukked over based on what his coaching peer did on some guilt by association shyt. It's not right as he SHOULD have a job, but that's the case. It's as if GM's don't even count what he did in LA as they don't want him to take anything he learned there to whatever team he coaches.

His time will definitely come though. Thibs waited forever and a day and he turned out to be worth it. That may be the case with Shaw too.

How can anybody hear about the way Brian Shaw lost his family and not want to see the man win? Have y'all heard the story of what happened? Dude deserves some shine.

It makes zero sense to me when I hear why he said GM's won't hire him. He said every interview he goes in they talk about the triangle like a plague. All it's done is get MJ 6 rings and Kobe 5. Just because a descendant of the triangle failed in a small market with little to no talent doesn't mean they should frown on the system that's won the most rings in the last 20 years.

That's because it is. There's a reason why it's ONLY gotten MJ and Kobe rings. You need to have the personnel to run it effectively. There's a reason why teams will run pick and roll all day and don't just say "hey let's run some triangle." There are coaching assistants that get jobs everywhere, but not Phil's guys.


The NBA is a copycat league. Notice how nobody attempts to copy it. It's because it's extremely tough to duplicate if you don't have an all-time SG on your roster. It's a complicated offense to grasp, one not built for a team with young players.

I can only count 2 teams in the last 22 years that won a championship without an all-time SG on their roster. A team like Brooklyn seems ideal for the triangle yet they still hired P.J instead of stealing Shaw. They better right that wrong asap. Somebody needs to give the man a chance.

They didn't hire P.J. He was already there. They had Avery Johnson and now they're looking for someone else.


Now, Brooklyn you would think is ideal for the Triangle, but it actually fukks over D-Will. A traditional PG in the Triangle is meaningless.

The funny thing is that a team like yours actually fits most of what the triangle offense desires. It's based on reads, offensive awareness, and an ability to pass by everyone.

The closest thing to the triangle is the motion offense. A couple of HC's run that. If Shaw wants a HC job, he needs to hammer home that. Guys like Adelman, Carlisle, Hollins, etc. run an offense like that.
