Someone on Real GM made the following comment:
"Thibs is certainly a good coach, I don't think anybody will dispute that.
Unfortunately he does come with a style that seems to lead to tune-out eventually. He drives hard, all the time.
I bet he'd be ridiculously good in the NCAA."
I think this is a pretty fair assessment. You can't coach every game like it's a playoff game and not expect to piss a few of your players off. He's an upgrade over Casey (by a mile) but he has his warts.
