Second, Mike Dunleavy has a horrid tendency to overcoach, so to speak. He makes substitutions that make sense only in his mind and is far too matchup driven. And he really doesn't have a damn clue when it comes to beating the Phoenix Suns.

With that said, I think that Mike Dunleavy is the perfect guy for this team at this time. He commands the respect of the players, young and old alike, and gets them to buy into his system. He's very good at getting the best out of his team, even though he steps in their way at times. It even seems that he's finally forced discipline into the head of Corey Maggette, a perinially unfocused, dumb player. Corey's been committed to defense and has cut down on the bad shots, and he's on board with doing whatever it takes to win. I agree with a lot of the gripes that many Clipper fans have with him, but you can't deny he's been a positive force on our team, and moreover the organization. I'd like to see him stay a while.
