With the demotion of Mike Budenholzer and Doc Rivers to mere head coaches (RIP Roc Divers), critiques of the head coach/president of basketball operations model have begun popping up during the offseason. In turn, Stan Van Gundy, as one of the few individuals in the NBA with that power, has begun to come under media scrutiny.
The basic critique of the HC/PoBo model boils down to this: Coaches have to think in the short-term, front offices have to think in the long-term, and trying to do both results in doing neither well.
