Watching his press conferences is pure joy and satisfaction compared to the previous coach. He's really one of us ... one of BBN ... and he's handling these press conferences exactly as we want them to be handled. It's like he's been given the keys to a Ferrari that all of BBN is going to enjoy. And he is taking time to explain to us how he's going to take care of the Ferrari ... and also educating us on how he's going to drive the Ferrari so that we can enjoy the ride with him.
Okay ... enough of the Ferrari analogy ... but I think you know what I'm getting at. He's explaining how he's going to use analytics and so on to make his decisions so that we all understand it and can enjoy it too. He's educating us on what his philosophies are and why they're significant so we can better understand what he's doing. He's letting us in on why these players fit so well and what they do so well ... so that we're invested in them and can enjoy watching them fight (and win) for BBN.
It's just a beautiful thing. Pope just 'gets it' on every level.
