I’m sure there is, the majority of the teams have a shooting coach. Just because they aren’t a big name doesn’t mean they don’t have one. I believe the last shooting coach we had on the laker squad was Tracy Murray.

At this point I’ll take one of those YouTube dudes coming in for a two hour diagnostic session. There’s no reason for professional basketball players to shoot this poorly for this long.

Just because he can't whip out his insider NBA coaching rolodex of names do not mean they dont exist. Quite common actually. Nice try.

At some point players have to take accountability. The coach doesn’t play the game, so effort isn’t on him. You’re a full grown adult getting paid millions to shoot a ball and you’re telling me effort is a coache’s fault?

You have google. You can google coaching staffs and look into the coaches. Plus sometimes it’s difficult to determine the exact tasks of an assistant coach
Plus you shouldn’t be concerned with how many teams or which teams employ a dedicated shooting coach. Every team has player development coaches. Most at least have multiple coaches with prior experience as development coach. It’s about how competent the coaches are at teaching technique and improving mechanics. It is obvious that Miles is poor at player development by how common issues with players go unnoticed and don’t get corrected. It is a joke that LFR can identify issues with Lonzo, Ingram, Mo etc and offer constructive criticism whereas miles just watches the players go through the drills and give no constructive feedback and let’s them develop poor habits . In our specific case it is important to add a competent coach. Idc what you call the coach. Shooting coach. Skills coach. Player development. But at this point the staff isn’t getting it done.

Another analogy for my guy Lizakers
If you salaried and go to work everyday 10 mins late and the boss don’t care why the duck would you go early? Is that your fault or the boss fault for not keeping you accountable? Isn’t it the bosses job to make sure everyone is punctual and is held accountable for their job? And if I’m consistently late isn’t it right I get fired? And in this case benched? If there’s no consequences for me being late I’m coming late every god damn day
And ask any spur what happens if they play outside of their system or play without effort. That culture starts up top.

Welp.. I subscribe to personal accountability and haven’t had “boss” for over 10 years. If you have to look at another grown man to make you take care of what you’re supposed to, I guess there are just more issues being exposed.

I’m not saying Luke doesn’t have faults. I’m not talking about playing within a system. The original comment was about slow starts and effort and you guys are telling me that guys aren’t putting in effort because there aren’t repercussions for them being trash and inconsistent?
At what point do you as an individual take accountability for your lack of effort?

Oh you rich rich
Depends on each person. What incentive or disincentive is there? What motivates a player? If the players are giving low effort, not getting back in transition, not doing their job then the coach gotta do his. Whether that’s suicides at practice or cutting playing time. Berating them for their lack of hussle. Something to put these idiots on notice.
Personally I don’t think its entirely a lack of effort. I think it’s part lack of effort, lack of being engaged, lack of communication, unwillingness to play defense/get back on D. Then they realize it after getting down 15 points. Why they do that? No idea. No sense of urgency I guess. How to fix? Need a leader on the court. There is no leader

Guys it’s not Luke
If we made more shots than opposition we would win every game. 41-0

Googles Luke Walton...
No news of getting fired yet.
Googles LeBron injury...
He’s not playing yet.
Guess I won’t be watching my team for now.

All of our non-shooters just need to keep shooting . Keep taking those wide open threes that other teams want us to take
Makes sense

Problem is even their best shooters are missing wide open 3’s at a concerning rate.
It’s not as convenient as pointing fingers to the coaching staff but like someone said, the players have to be accountable for their own failures.
