week long vacations and Maxim’s hot 100 list.

That’s just mean. His target audience is anyone that will read him, hopefully enough to warrant somebody paying him to write his thoughts down and earn a steady salary. I don’t think he’s honestly trying to tell coaches what to do – and I doubt you do either – he’s clearly just using the didactic tone as a way to express his thoughts, and his thoughts are about what an unemployed coach does. As to why he uses the didactic tone, well – he’s a coach. That’s what he does. That doesn’t mean anyone imagines EMuss sitting on his desk prepping a “How To Coach” manual. The dude’s just trying to get payed.

However, fair warning to the masses in general that you shouldn’t necessarily listen to coach Muss for an in-depth view on the lives of the average (or above-average) coach.

He goes through the list of teams alphabetically.

Amstel Light
Ballantine Ale
Coors
Dos Equis…

And so forth, til he gets near the Capitol, and then he goes straight to his prep sheets for Milwaukee, St. Louis, and, hmm, apparently Glenmorangie has an NBA team now.

I’ll be damned.

How your shenanigans amuse me.

Eric Musselman….“you’re one patheTic loser.”

Reggie Theus actually has a similar gameplanning routine. It involves him locating the Hooters closest to each team’s arena and a listing of Spirit, the Southwest Airlines in flight magazine’s, rankings of the best bars for singles in every city.

Eric Musellman should just rotate the pillows and sofa cushions on his couch, it’d be just as productive an activity as his simulated practice schedules. Or he could count the steps to and from his front door to his mailbox, and back, to pick-up his residual checks from the Kings, then convert to inches, meters, yards, and every other known unit of measurement, and post on his blog. Statistical analysis is his thing, after all.

I wish I could be this much of a douchbag while I was unemployed and a million + coming to me anyway.
