As a so-called ‘basketball expert’ … Who exactly is David Thorpe?

Please watch the following interview with David Thorpe [ESPN, NBA Analyst]: and, then, ask yourself the following question: Does it sound to you as though Mr. Thorpe has ever coached the game of basketball successfully at a high level? ————————————- PS. Please keep in mind that basketball is … first and foemost … a Team game which requires a minimum of 12 players [i.e. divided into 2 squads], and 2 coaches [i.e. one for each team] and, at least, 1 official to play, according to the rules. PPS. If anyone can fill in the details about where Mr. Thorpe has, in fact, coached successfully in the past – i.e. use the comments section – it would be sincerely appreciated.
