Yes, it's just that the point fails when applied to Marvin because of the uniqueness of his situation.
Quote:If there is some special way to win in the playoffs then why do bad coaches sometimes beat good coaches?
You just demonstrated why your point fails when it comes to Marvin. Marvin has lost in pretty much every type of scenario...as a favorite, underdog, home, away, healthy, injured, etc. He's never won a playoff game he should have. He's never overcome to win a playoff game that he shouldn't have. He hasn't accomplished anything in 7 chances except record setting failure.
You can say, for example, that just because Mike McCoy beat Marvin in the playoffs, it doesn't mean McCoy was a better coach and that would be true. However, that does nothing to change Marvin's compilation of postseason futility.
Quote:If nothing matters but the coaching then why don't the same coaches win every single year?
Honestly, you're the only one I've seen using the words 'nothing matters but coaching'. I haven't seen anyone make that argument. Of course, there are a number of factors in each individual game, but there has also been one factor that has been constant in all...and that's Marvin.
Quote:Why do the same coaches win one year and then lose another year?
Because winning in the playoffs on a consistent basis is difficult. Unfortunately, in Marvin's case, winning a single playoff game has proven to be even more difficult.
Quote:The fact that Marvin has not won a playoff game does not mean he can not win a playoff game.
You're right in saying that the fact that Marvin hasn't won a playoff game doesn't mean that he won't ever win one. It's definitely not impossible. However, based on all the evidence we have to this point, I think it's fair to say it's more improbable than probable.
