Really he should have pulled the plug and simplified after maybe game 4. That was more than enough to tell you the defense he installed was too complex.

We were loooooong past 6 or 7 weeks with Lou.

I mean, Lou had 3 years of his guys not being able to run his defense, then 1 postseason and 1 regular season of them being able to do so, followed by 2 more years of not being able to run his defense. That's 5 out of 6 years, not weeks.

If it's 5 years, you can't try to blame the players anymore for not being able to pick it up, you are doing something wrong.
