The more you read about Pennell and watch what he's doing with PHX the more impressive he seems as a coach and leader. He may not be helping DT's run on the scoring or MVP titles too much but he's positioning the team perfectly for the postseason. The time to discover defense isn't during the playoffs, it's well in advance of them.

The opposite applies to Laimbeer. He's got no business coaching in any league if he's going to make comments like that about ballers. There are enough injury issues in the W without head coaches saying stupid things like that. What an idiot.
