What the hell do you need to do in order to become a coach in the NBA ?? If you watch the league long enough, sometimes you’ll have the impression that the answer is: “Not much. Not much at all“. During the Lakers - Cavaliers game the commentators were discussing the foul trouble situation. Jeff Van Gundy notices Lebron has 4 fouls and has a really bright idea. For him. He says the foul limit should be extended to 7 allowing the superstars of the league to stay on the floor more, and then asks himself where’s the harm in that.

Well, since you asked, Jeff, how about the fact that the fucking games would be a hack fest ??? And they would last like 6 hours each. Nobody would pay to watch people (be they superstars or whatever) shoot free throws. Not for 6 hours in a row. Not to mention the fact that those shooting those free throws won’t be the Nash’s and the Iverson’s of the league. Nope. It would be the Shaq’s, the Ben Wallace’s and the Dwight Howard’s. With extra fouls to give, the coaches would be like “Can I have a Hack’a'Shaq ? Yeah, sure, super size me !!“.

Just in case you’re asking yourselves what the fuck was Jeff thinking about when he came up with this “idea“, well, this is the kind of basketball Jeff likes to coach (and you can actually see him doing some coaching in the lower part of the image):

PS: As you may already know, Lebron was just fine. He didn’t foul out and he played some excellent D on Kobe and helped the Cavs win the game.
