Team USA Men’s Basketball rolled over Serbia yesterday in their Olympic opener yet HC Steve Kerr is being roundly criticized for leaving Jayson Tatum on the bench for the entire game. Doug Gottlieb brings his extensive international coaching experience to bear and explains why Kerr did the right thing in this situation and his critics don’t know what they’re talking about. Kerr knows exactly what he’s doing despite what a bunch of armchair coaches on social media think.
Doug Gottlieb: “Steve Kerr is not an idiot. He just coached to a win and we are asking about a guy who didn’t play. Why? Stop saying stupid stuff over and over again because if feels good to social media.”
