When Doug Gottlieb came to Gallagher-Iba Arena this season, he appeared to be a coach.
On Nov. 4, the former Oklahoma State men’s basketball guard turned Green Bay coach wore a suit (until he ditched the jacket due to a comedic amount of sweat), said all the right things postgame about his alma mater and his underdog Phoenix held strong, losing 89-76 in Steve Lutz’s first game coaching the Cowboys.
But since then, Gottlieb hasn’t looked like much of a coach. His Fox Sports radio gig — the same one he did at Eskimo Joe’s hours before the season's first game — next to his Phoenix’s record, 3-24, makes him look like a man who's half-in, half-out.
