I kind of like the idea. It gives the assistants an opportunity to work outside of their comfort zone and gives them at least a little taste of what it take to be an in-game HC. That comes in handy if Brad is unavailable somehow (like getting tossed for being honest about how bad B1G officiating is).
He did the same thing in Italy. Touches on it here at about the 5:27 mark;
His way makes sense to me. He gets a chance to give his assistants experience they need and Underwood can observe from a point of view that he doesn't normally see. Gives everyone a chance to get better.
It's easy to forget that BU is also a manager of people in addition to being a coach. Just like in other professions, good managers give their team chances to stretch beyond their current roles and gain marketable experience. This is him being a good boss.
Maybe he is also thinking of the future of his assistants, who will be around, who might not be. I don't know. :-/
not an insider, but I imagine there isn't going to be a ton of coaching in these games anyway. just gonna be practicing basic offense and defense. can't imagine there is going to be many wrinkles or set plays in Spain.
Print out an official looking “Prensa” badge. You’re with Euro Basketball United. Be confident and just walk in.
Suspended him for what???
Strangely enough, not everyone thinks alike. When you join an exclusive club you’re subject to its rules.
I'm down with that rule.

Don't worry, drinking age is only 18 so team will be too drunk to do any of the stuff you list.
