Legend of coaching, but also of TV consultants, Hubie Brown has just celebrated his 89th birthday, and he will be very honored, or not, to learn that his first name is at the origin of an expression used by Mike Malone.
This season, the Nuggets coach has decided to point the finger at the “Hubie” of his team. This term, which refers to the fact that Hubie Brown does not hesitate to point the finger at players who stop playing, targets players who become “spectators” during a sequence of play, and the Denver Post reports that Tuesday’s video session was marked by the identification of 25 “Hubies”.
” I was the whole game admits Bones Hyland, his coach’s main target. ” Bones needs to do a better job leading the team, and he needs to keep playing when things don’t go his way. I found that he was absent on several actions, and that is unacceptable.” sorry Mike Malone.
What Mike Malone also pointed out were the Thunder’s 13 offensive rebounds, the lack of effort on defense… But overall, it was Bones Hyland who took the most, but he’s not the type to be offended at having been displayed in front of his teammates.
” I’m not that kind of kid, and I don’t dwell on bad performances. I know how I have to perform, and I know this match is nothing like me. I’m not going to come here and pout. »
An attitude that pleases his coach. ” I’m proud of him… I think he shows maturity. He came to training, and he was ready to work, to improve, and he did. He didn’t come feeling sorry for himself, and it’s a big step for him.”.
