Understand that I am nothing beyond a casual fan of basketball. I have never played on an organized team, coached, or studied basketball strategy in any way. And yet I remember watching the Doh teams and thinking that the players were poorly coached and played scared, the ever-changing system was all wrong, and the wrong players had been recruited for what he was trying to run. If even I notice those things, then you know there is a problem. It was almost like Doh suffered from basketball ADD or something.
And on top of that, the PF basketball board was even a dark place in those days because there was one guy who defended Doh to the death and brutally insulted everyone else on here. Don't remember the guy's handle. . . but I remember never wanting to visit the basketball board b/c I didn't want to read the garbage he was always spouting.
And then one day. . .Doh left, we hired LB, the pro-Doh guy left PF (or was banned), and lo and behold. . . everything started to look up!!
