January 15, 200818 yr He is an above average player that would have a chance to be much more than above average were he not such a head case and so full of himself. His "head" - i.e., lack of discipline and maturity - will relegate to him an NBA afterthought in a few years. At least I hope so. Man, I don't know what it is about this guy, but I can't stand him. :mad: Is it possible that your strong dislike clouds your judgment? I get that way with certain players. I don't think he has many skills that translate well to the NBA level. He's not strong. He doesn't shoot well. He can't put the ball on the floor on the perimeter. Other than running the floor and blocking shots occasionally, I don't see him being anything more than a role player.
January 15, 200818 yr Is it possible that your strong dislike clouds your judgment? I get that way with certain players. Maybe. Maybe not. Probably just falls under the category of "walks like a punk, talks like a punk, looks like a punk . . . . probably is a punk." And I'm not big on punks.
January 15, 200818 yr This is probably being made into a bigger deal than it really is. Coaches get yelled at a lot by players. We don't always hear about it . Good for the Bulls players in trying to teach him a lesson and good for Noah on how he has accepted it so far. Noah's head will not be his challenge in the NBA. Its his abilities to actually play against grown men that may be the challenge. I think the fact that he got this kind of response shows that this DOES NOT happen a lot. As was stated in the article, there has to be a level of respect between players and coaches and that they're all grown men. When was the last time a player was suspended for 2 games for yelling at the coach? It must have been pretty bad.

My guess is it happens but its rare that the teammates get involved,thus, we don't hear about it.
January 15, 200818 yr My guess is it happens but its rare that the teammates get involved,thus, we don't hear about it. As far as "verbally abusing" a head or assistant coach, I doubt that it really does happen that much. It's not like NBA coaches are as hard on their players as college coaches. They do their film study, individual work, walk-through, etc. They realize it's a players league. One thing is for sure here, he definitely crossed a line AND either 1) the assistant coach is well liked, or 2) Noah is not very well liked.
January 15, 200818 yr The bulls dont let there players wear headbands. That was a Scott Skiles rule and he is not the coach anymore. I am not sure if they have relaxed the rule, but I believe Big Ben was wearing a headband earlier this year.
