[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 177918, member: 789"] I should have been more thoughtful in my posts as it appears many are reading that if we humiliate him in public he will just leave on his own. That was not my intent. We cannot afford to replace him. We cannot afford top tier assistants. I get that. What I'm offering as an alternative is to go out there and find someone to take a risk on & basically turn over responsibilities for the "teaching part of coaching the team". Much the same was as a Head Coach in football has an offensive and defensive coordinator. Ideally it would be someone that if we had success could be like a "coach in waiting". It would have to be someone outside of known entities because we allegedly cannot afford anything else. I'm sure Gregory is good at something. Maybe it's mentoring? I honesty have no idea. My opinion is he is not a good coach of basketball so whoever we would get I'd have him do that. I do think Gregory is a fine man, of good character, etc. We should exploit that strength and any others he has. At work, I constantly hear about how we're going to train someone to be something they're not. My approach has always been to take what they are & extract as much goodness out of those things as I can & find others to stopgap what they're weak at. I do the same for myself. I delegate responsibilities for things I'm no good at to my people. They take care of those things lock, stock and barrell and they tell me what they're doing. I rarely offer opinions on those things because they're better at it than I am by long shot. What I'm good at, I do for the entire company. There's nobody better anywhere I've ever met that even comes close. Maybe I'm just too old to change & it's time to put me out to pasture? [/QUOTE]
