You are entitled to that view but I think you are letting him off the hook.
He is paid to produce.
He isn't.
That's not on the coach. That's on the player.
What I see with Johnny is nothing that the coach would control
- Facing tougher competition, who have adjusted to his offense. Now he needs to adjust.
- He's trying to do it all himself. He needs to use his teammates better
- He's making some bad mistakes and turnovers
The coach is easy to blame. Far easier than to blame the player that everyone loves. But at some point dude has to produce. That's his job.
