Does Gaze's demeanour impact his coaching?

Flow but JvG recruited and signed all players, not Gaze. Gaze is just the puppet.

What is the story with Kendall? He gave up on bball early and now randomly appears as second assistant. He bailed on the sport but maybe realised it's hard making a dollar out there away from basketball.

When he gets angry he still smirks. It looks very strange.

I've read others on this forum saying the same thing... I've seen Gaze coaching juniors back at MSAC... coffee in hand, and as soon as practice starts he was pretty much the opposite to his public demeanor

Exactly what I've been saying. It's quite obvious when he gives up in games

“Demeanour” also refers to things like body language and facial expressions.

Folding arms and use of “closed body language”, scowling expressions, turning away from his team, all these things (and more) project a certain air that is not conducive to any level of teamwork.

As a result, he inspires precisely no confidence in his charges. Therefore, they won’t work for him.

If you have any doubt, record him during a game. Watch only Gaze (edit if need be) and imagine your boss looking like that at work. How would it impact on your motivation and productivity?

As I understand although Gaze is the goofy aww shucks lovable guy in public both he and his father could give big sprays behind closed doors (and Drewy was reported to have done that after the Adelaide game) so I'm not sure that would be an issue.

I think it would be more 1. tactics as Drewy saw what worked reasonably well under his father for 20+ seasons at the Tigers and 2. lack of actual coaching experience at least coaching men not under age kids teams.

A big problem is he never seemed to be too interested in coaching only taking it up at SEABL level five minutes before getting the Kings job and think the money was a pretty big factor in convincing him, reportedly $400K a year on a 3 year deal.

Whether he had much involvement in the putting together of the rosters I don't know but suspect he would've having such a long working relationship with JVG and the recruiting has left a lot to desired.

and Smyth got eventually found out after Adelaide's money ran dry. Also Smyth was smart to always consult Steve Breheny before every timeout. Gaze ignored Vickerman which is arrogant.

If you're a bad coach it doesn't matter what your demeanour is.

There are exceptions to every rule. Gaze isn't one of them when it comes to coaching.

Not demeanour.

He's an ex-player not a coach.

One or two seasons with Melbourne Tigers SEABL isn't enough experience to coach an NBL side.

Clubs need to stop this silliness of hiring coaches wihtout the relevant experience. Didn't they all learn this after Heal's foray?
