Ime Udoka may or may not be a good NBA coach. The team's results leave him open to criticism however the problem is that some of the critics are ill qualified to analyze the decision making and lack important context (what is going on with each of the players physically, emotionally etc.) to make a good faith assessment. Yet the certitude that its correct seems really high.
Its not beyond the pale that we actually have a coaching savant (sevornt!! /Ruth) in our midst but the problem is, our collective output doesn't indicate it.
We don't even acknowledge the vast information disadvantages fans have versus the coaching staff and front office. Its not just cuts of data that show tendencies etc. What if one of the starters is in their feelings because they had a fight with a partner or two guys aren't working well together in practice?
Udoka might adjust for reasons like this but those very real, human situations aren't even considered. People simply know better despite not having any information and that is why some of these criticisms are difficult to take seriously.
