I don't think it's horrendous, but he was a better regular-season manager. In the post, his teams almost always shut it down on offense. I'm sure some of that's on him. How much? Hard to say, but, then, you also have to give him the credit for getting to the post so much. He did get a ring. So, I think the truth is somewhere in between your's n' Cannon's extremes.

I'm sure that his presence made the balls stop hitting the bats.

Part of their job is motivational leader. That was not the man's strong point.

I wasn't aware that players needed extra motivation in the playoffs.
