... timeouts, make halftime adjustments, get his players to play team defense, and put together any semblance of an offensive system or philosophy was extremely detrimental to the team’s success night after night. As a rookie coach with a budding young superstar point guard, handing Rose the keys and just saying “go” was somewhat acceptable and may have helped Rose to feel his way out on the court.
