Kirby's best coaching job, what separates him from other coaches is,

he uses the regular season not as a beauty contest to score as many points as possible on lessor teams, but to force the team to fight, to play deep into the bench, he uses the season as a continuation of summer camp and treats most games like a scrimmage to develop players Instead of just running up the score.

He uses opportunities other coaches don't to develop the team. The cake finished baking last night.

In Kirby I trust.
