Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups is experiencing plenty of adjustments during his first year coaching at the NBA level. This week, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports detailed some of those adjustments, and how Billups is negotiating the rough waters of an 11-15 start in an injury-filled season, falling well below expectations.
One of the key challenges for any coach, particularly in Season 1, is how to communicate with players. This is especially true with a relatively-inexperienced Billups talking to a veteran, star-centered lineup with the likes of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum heading the rotation.
