SI.com recognizes Daddy Mac as coach of the future

Ian Thomsen lists his All-Future roster today at SI.com and Nate McMillan gets some love:

COACH
Coach Nate McMillan Portland Trail Blazers


If he can survive the next couple of years with his ultra-young roster, he could develop a Popovichesque relationship with Greg Oden. McMillan has the work ethic, defensive mind-set and integrity to become a championship coach
.

Nice to see that some sportswriters recognize that it mostly comes back to good coaching, regardless of roster. Oh, and Oden makes the All Future list (5 years from now) as a reserve, along with Durant and DWade.

McMillan must convey more emotion and get pissed, if the players don't perform to expectation, at practice and in games.
