[Hawks Coach]

It can be tempting to lean one way or another on this discussion board and ignore a lot of good advice. You will clearly see some strong personal tendencies from some very experienced basketball folks. These can be influenced by the level they ref, the people they work for, the way their state does things, and their personal style. Try not to fall into the trap of developing a bias against a person (and by extension, what they post) over style and approach. The frequent posters on this board are very serious about their jobs and solid on the rules. Every one of them has some gems, and I disagree with every one of them at some point or another - cause I got opinions too! I will by nature disagree with some more than others, but I learn from all and develop a better appreciation of the complexity of this game by seeing multiple, supportable viewpoints.
