    YAHOO! SPORTS DATE: 01/28/2021 Trae Young-led Hawks holding own against league's best as they focus on making the playoffs By: Chris Haynes https://sports.yahoo.com/trae-young-denies-beef-with-john-collins-as-the-hawks-focus-on-making-the- playoffs-003257869.html ATLANTA — The Brooklyn Nets were a few seconds away from staving off a young Atlanta Hawks squad on the road inside of State Farm Arena on Wednesday night. With four seconds remaining in overtime, James Harden was at the charity stripe and Hawks star point guard Trae Young was positioned behind him staring into space in deep thought. He looked as if he was itching for a couple of do-overs. The rising Hawks had fought valiantly throughout and led for much of the contest. They had their chances to win. In the end, the three-headed superstar trio of Harden, Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were too much to overcome down the stretch, accounting for 89 of the team’s 132 points in a four-point Nets win. Young finished the evening with 28 points and 14 assists. The third-year guard issued Yahoo Sports an exclusive phone interview to discuss what he was thinking late in the game, the misperception of the Hawks’ locker room and a look into the latest phase of the franchise’s developmental chapter. ‘I just love playing against the best’ “When the game got to that point [with Harden at the line sealing the victory], I was just thinking that I’m looking forward to the next matchup against them,” Young told Yahoo Sports.

  • BREAKING: Minnesota Timberwolves Fire Tom Thibodeau
    BREAKING: Minnesota Timberwolves Fire Tom Thibodeau Author : Daniel Carpio The Tom Thibodeau era for the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves is over. Within the last few hours the Timberwolves have fired Thibodeau, who was both the head coach and team president. The news was first reported by The Athletic's Shams Charania and ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski. While the timing of the decision is confusing given Minnesota just won a lopsided 108-86 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers earlier in the day, it has been a long time coming. Thibodeau's trademark hard nose coaching style and tendency to play starters extensive minutes eroded his relationship with both players and Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor. Nothing highlighted this divide more Thibodeau's handling of forward Jimmy Butler's trade request. His outright refusal to want to trade Butler had him sabotage a potential deal with the Miami Heat as it was set to be completed. He also ignored another offer from the Houston Rockets that reportedly included four first 1 / 2 round draft picks. These instances reduced Minnesota's leverage in negotiating a deal. When Butler returned to the Timberwolves after holding out in the preseason he orchestrated one of the most infamous practices the league has witnessed, and seemingly did so with Thibodeau's blessing. Ultimately Butler was traded to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for forwards Robert Covington and Dario Saric, and only after Taylor stepped in. Assistant coach Ryan Saunders, son of late beloved Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders, will take over as interim coach. Scott Layden will take over front office duties.

  • 23 Qualities of a Great Teammate
    23 Qualities of a Great Teammate Being a great teammate is far more important than being a great player. Let’s face it… Chances are that you will never coach a player who goes on to play professional basketball at a high level (the chances are slim). And if you do, the number will pale in comparison to the number of players you coach who will never play any basketball professionally. But every single one of the players you’re coaching are going to grow up, get a job, and will be expected to be a contributing member of their community. So how can we best prepare our players for the rest of their lives? By teaching them how to be great teammates. Many of the qualities that players develop on their journey to being a great teammate will help their future out tremendously. In fact, every one of the 23 qualities of a great teammate listed below are the exact qualities that make someone a great co-worker. Your players might not recognize the importance now, but they will one day. And they will thank you. Here are 23 qualities all great teammates possess… www.basketballforcoaches.com By Coach Mac 1. A great teammate develops real relationships with their teammates Great relationships between teammates is an important foundation for the success of any team. Success does not necessarily mean winning (although it includes it), but rather the enjoyment had by those involved on the team throughout the season and looking back on it. To develop deep and real relationships between teammates, players must get to know their teammates as more than people they throw around a basketball with on the court a few times a week.

  • Racial Double Standards? the Case of Expected Performance and Dismissals of Head Coaches In
    Racial double standards? The case of expected performance and dismissals of head coaches in NBA Carlos Gomez-Gonzalez, Julio del Corral, Andrés Maroto ABSTRACT Professional basketball in the US provides an opportunity to test racial differences in the labor market. In contrast to other professional sports, such as baseball or American football, and, more deeply, to other economic sectors, black Americans are represented in influencing positions as head coaches in this competitive setting. The paper investigates the influence of the race of the coach and performance (winning ratio and an efficiency index relative to expectations) on dismissal decisions. The data includes coach- team information over a 20-year period of time in the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the analysis uses several probit models. The results show that black head coaches are more likely to be fired and less prone to quit than white head coaches, ceteris paribus. Both measures of performance (efficiency and victories) also play a significant role in dismissals. Keywords: Basketball, Coaches, Dismissal, Efficiency, Race, Performance, NBA 1 1. Introduction In the words of Samuel Johnson, racial discrimination was a fact "too evident for detection and too gross for aggravation" in the American society of the first part of the 20th century (Arrow, 1998, p. 92). African Americans had a strictly limited access to certain jobs, which prevented them from creating a social network and reaching top positions (Ibarra, 1995). In recent years, although African Americans still face barriers to access leadership jobs in certain sectors, they have successfully scale top positions in professional sports, particularly in basketball.

  • The Managerial Contribution of Coaches in the National Basketball Association ∗
    The Managerial Contribution of Coaches in the National Basketball Association ∗ Ramzy Al-Amine y June 2020 Abstract This paper explores the high frequency of front office changes to disentangle the relative contribution of head coaches in the National Basketball Association (NBA). By employing a manager-fixed effect regression approach, it estimates the average additional wins contributed by each head coach since 1985. Not only do the generated fixed effects provide much-needed quantitative insight into the relative effectiveness of current NBA head coaches, but they are also useful in predicting team wins for future coach-roster parings. I find that including coaching fixed effects reduces forecast errors by as much as 10 percent when predicting next season wins. JEL-classification: C13, C23, D22, J44, J63 Key words: fixed effects, managerial contributions, organizational settings, sports, basketball. ∗I thank Tim Willems, Kevin Wiseman, Dan Brown, Petr Sedlacek, Manasa Patnam, Tamim Bayoumi, Vladimir Klyuev and Kevin Mazur for useful comments. [email protected] 1 1 Introduction Despite advancements in analytics, the basketball world continues to lack a systematic quantification of the coaching effect. Those with most silverware are traditionally consid- ered all-time greats. But while championships are a signal for team success, the degree to which coaches contribute to them remains a matter of conjecture. For example, Phil Jack- son's 11 championship rings are often over-looked in favor of perennial superstars (Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal). This paper accomplishes two objectives. First, it estimaties the relative contribution of coaches in light of roster characteristics and in- juries. Second, it determines whether a coach's prior tenures are helpful in predicting his success in future tenures.
