Mentor(s) to aid Clarke for rest of season

Usually a sign of betrayal.
But if signed by Stirling , accept as true.

why do you think he should do that he's had ample time to prove that his methods do not work. They say the definition of insanity is to keep trying the same thing and expect a different result. He should try it their way and if that doesnt work at least he has shown he is trying to improve and willing to listen. I just wish i could see he has more than one game plan because from my seat at all the home games this season look very much like different game same crap and its getting boring.

Isaac- I'll give you the Philippines league but NCAA and NBDL are very strong leagues (the key contributors to the NBA). I also disagree on the Weigh argument, clearly Clarke wants to put minutes into him regardless. Catron is used very differently (and wisely) by McLeod, he comes on and becomes the focal point of the offense for the second unit. Anyone who saw him play here though would have been thinking "Thank God he didn't get more time". In that game he was the only bright spot for them, contributing 19pts and 11 boards in 26 minutes.

Mentor or not, its great to wanna be coach, but you gotta have the wit, balls and know how to coach.

Most people could coach an AIS side, but an NBL club like the 36ers have tradition, which is instilled over decades. Marty has ruined that so ya know what?

Like Morag off Home and Away says, You are the weakest link....goodbye!"

Simpson, should be playing. If he's not at the fitness level, play him into it with gametime. If he doesn't follow instructions tell him to shape up or he'll be shipped out.

I did some analysis on his court time and stats during his time in college, the NBDL and the Philippines, read it here

'Stevie deserves 32mins and Simpson's only fit enough to play 23mins and gotta give the young ones a run.'
I barely paid it any credence at all.
Besides Simpson is younger.
Maher is more relevant . " If Ng is on the court , run some plays for him , or don't put him on at all."

It's a good move.

If you are a Manager of people and they have gaps in performance you look at ways you can fill those gaps to bring them up to standard. For example, you may have a sub-ordinate who is very good technically, but has issues problem solving. You don't sack them without trying to send them off to a training course first.

The common points that people seem to agree on is that Marty's strength is his ability to teach the technical, individual skills to players. His weaknesses revolve around his game day implementation.

To me, if the Sixers are working on the weaknesses, then it's a good move.
