    I sold Will Hardy a car wash membership last year and shook his hand, I’ll never forget it. I was starstruck. Super nice guy. Great coach.

      jazz fan here: I used to think Quin Snyder was a genius, he has a MBA and a JD, hes a smart man. When he left because he didnt want to rebuild i was like man, we are going to get another bad coach for a while (remember the Ty Corbin era post Sloan? YIKES).
      but will hardy has convinced me of two things: 1) Will Hardy is a great coach 2) Quin Snyder did not make adjustments and lowkey is a highly overrated coach. His slick hair and belt buckles, the way he can speak so eloquently seduces fans, but hes not that great of a coach
      ON GOD FR FR NO CAP

    Can't help thinking as Will described the scene in San Antonio about Steph, Klay and Draymond staying together with Steve Kerr. Continuity is a beautiful thing when you have talented players. And Steve has his relationship with Pop. Love it!

    Solely on the basis of his personality, I'm saying that this man is the best coach in the league. And that's not a knock on other coaches, it's just clear that he is players' coach and that the team absolutely loves him.

      He'll get there, but he is not yet. There are adjustments in the playoffs, winning a couple of series etc. But he has a very bright future and work ethic to get there.

    Wolves fan here - love that Coach Hardy gave Mike his respect, he's done wonders for us here. As much of a petty interest I have in Utah not doing well at times because of the Rudy trade, there's no denying that they have a hell of a coach. No shot they're anywhere near the play-in without him.
