Great piece on Brighter Side..

I hope this young team can learn how to play. Funny for years we have been looking for good Iso players now we need, playmakers.

Phoenix Suns offense is ugly at times, but it's not Jeff Hornacek's fault

Y'know what I got out of this well thought out, in-depth article?

Jeff Hornacek may make a good Head Coach for a veteran team, but is not the one to take this team to that level. No 1st-time Head Coach would be.

'Another example of mis-handling by the owner and Front Office, which is not surprising from a 1st-time GM.

There isn't a coach on the planet that would be capable of taking this collection to the promised land. I have no idea if Jeff is the right guy. I don't know how anyone could confidently say he is or isn't at this point.

Jeff's style is similar to what mine was -- push gently from behind, rather than tug them by the nose. I recognized that my managerial skill was not as a start-up but as a maintainer and motivator. Keep them going and push them to greater heights.

Despite a good first year, I see the same trait in Jeff except, from what I've seen, he is a maintainer but has not excelled as a motivator. I saw the same in John MacLeod, despite his rigidity. Cotton Fitzsimmons would have been the right man for these times.

'Just my opinion as a fan.
