After taking a step back, traveling around the league, and watching other coaches, Thibodeau sounded like a man with a broader perspective talking to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on The Woj Pod. Maybe his greatest lesson was watching Doc Rivers and the Clippers. “I couldn’t believe the shootarounds, I was like, ‘If I did that, they’d hang me.’ They were phenomenal. But [Rivers] is the best at managing the day before, in between, they had that day off, but everybody came in. And their young guys really work, and the older guys were getting treatment and recovery. So understanding who your team is and what everyone needs. “And there’s more to it because you have to be careful not to divide your team.”
