I propose that it should be a coach who is a liability in only one of the following areas, and excels in at least one:
1. Recruiting.
2. Floor coaching (incl working the refs).
3. Fundamentals.
4. Discipline.
What the 'talent' argument misses is that Rick is a liability in the other 3 areas. The sad part is that that could be mostly mitigated with the right assisstants, but some character flaw is getting in the way (ego, stubborness?).
