Finch apologized for not using TJ correctly. Like many of us have said the entire season.

Finch has developed three star players might not flamed out elsewhere. Dillingham looks like trash elsewhere which other prospects has he failed to develop in your opinion.
I would argue Josh Minott and Terrence Shannon had way too short of leashes. I also don't know we couldn't have made Leonard Miller more relevant
Shannon kept getting hurt, his ankles got hurt every 5-10 games. He was given the NAW role this year playing 18 minutes per game the first 5 games before getting hurt, came back and played 13 minutes per game in November, 10 minutes per game in December and he literally lost us games. Every time he came into the game the other team went on a big run. We obviously couldn't afford to lose many more games than we did this year, so every game mattered that we lost he played in. He got hurt again, and when he came back teams had scouted him forced him to go right and started blocking his shot or he would miss because he refused to shoot with his right hand when going right. I'm a big Shannon fan, and have high hopes for him, but he didn't earn his minutes this year. It's exciting when he shows that attack power, and I'm curious to see what that looks like with Wemby lurking the paint in this series.

I'm pretty sure Finch was kidding. Not everyone can have the ball in their hands on offense. Ant, Randle, Jaden, Naz, Ayo all are better with the ball in their hands at the top of the key.

The point I saw was using TJ the wrong way. Having players stand in the corner as an offensive plan makes it easy on the defense to sag. Especially if the guy in the corner cannot hit the 3. Finch has appeared to be calling actual offensive plays more often with Ant out. The ball movement has been exciting to watch and forces the defense to move, which helps a ton against a set defense. These are a few of the reasons I went with a low B for his grade, as he didn't do any of those things during the regular season. Maybe he is learning that he can assert some control when Ant isn't there. Maybe Ant is watching and learning like Randle did when he was out.

We should reopen this poll so the honest folks among us can change their opinions when shown new information.

I don't know...I think if Finchie knew 15 out of 18 passionate Wolves fans gave him a grade of 80 or better, he wouldn't be asking for a recount...I don't think many fan bases rate their coach that high!

Yeah, he seems like a pretty smart guy. He probably realizes most sports fanatics are morons.

This has seemingly become your white whale. Except in Captain Ahab's case, the whale actually existed!

Except there are still people on this board who would be “comfortable” trying a different coaching staff. So technically you’re wrong. But otherwise I’m comfy drowning on this “whale” of a take.

When you're not doing this I've seen you post insightful and intelligent things on this board, but constantly running to this thread for gotcha post just makes you seem like a troll
