Amare Sucks at Defense Because... - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

He's never been taught!

"Just having a defensive coach for the first time in my career is going to help," Stoudemire said. "I've never been taught defense in my whole career. To now have a coach that actually teaches defense and teaches strategies and knows positioning and posture and how to guard different plays is going to be helpful. I'm going to take it as a challenge, accept the challenge and try to improve as a player."

Asked about Stoudemire's remarks, Woodson said, "I'm not going there with you guys. I think Mike D'Antoni is a great coach. He does a number of wonderful things on both ends of the floor. Amar'e is entitled to his opinion but I think every coach in this league is a great coach. It's not an easy job by no means."

Thoughts? lol

He just needed Tyson Chandler to show him the way!

Amare knows which end of the court the max contracts are at.

This is what I came in here to say. Tyson will be the best defensive coach he could ever ask for. If Amare is willing to listen, he will tell him what to do while he is actually on the floor with him.
