6th Man: Kyle Lee Watson, Above the Rim           

Kenny Tyler (Marlon Waynans) from the sixth man may seem like the obvious choice here. I didn’t feel comfortable depending on the ghost of his brother to help Kenny get hot offensively. No team is complete without a sixth man who can get buckets under any type of pressure.

What’s more nerve-racking than playing against a team coached by Tupac that featured an actual hitman? I rest my case.

Coach: Edwina Franklin, Eddie

With all of the personalities on this team, you need someone who knows how to keep things lighthearted. Don’t think for a second that Norman Dale from Hoosiers could get this group to make sure everyone touched the ball before taking a shot.

Coach Carter’s, “To the baseline Cruze!” would result in nothing but laughter. Eddie is the right coach for the gig.

Not only does Eddie connect with players, but she knows the game of basketball and doesn’t sugarcoat the truth. Anyone who can get the New York Knicks into the playoffs is certainly a coach worth the hiring as far as I’m concerned.
