Coach Metta?

He can certainly teach players how to execute hard nosed defense, no question about that.

Sorry, but what makes you think just because Ron Ron could play defense that he could actually teach it? Using that logic, our FT shooting should be around 90% this season.

I meant that he could teach the mechanics of it very well. Execution is obviously about the players' skill set, and ability to listen.
 
Ron or is it Metta is a pretty strange dude. Hey it sure could be interesting. It sure wouldn't be boring. Sounds something more like the Knicks would do.

Here's confirmation of that:

Here's another one to add to the list of crazy stories from the "haunted" Skirvin Hilton Hotel in Oklahoma City: Los Angeles Lakers forward Metta World Peace said Sunday that he had been touched by ghosts "in the wrong places" the night before. Here's the full quote, via the Orange County Register's Mark Medina:
"The ghosts were all over me. I just accepted it," Lakers forward Metta World Peace said. "They touched me all over the place. I'm taking one of the ghosts to court for touching me in the wrong places."
World Peace insisted he was serious before explaining why he did not stay somewhere else.
"I was watching a good movie and I was tired," said World Peace, who incidentally said he saw "Money Monster." "I didn't want to move."

Gotta love Ron's sense of humor.

Not sure I would use words like "execute" or "execution" with Ron, he may take them the wrong way ;)
 
my recollection is that when Ron was recruited he was listed as a 6''8" forward. I also call him playing download for us, even center. Is that right or is my memory playing tricks on me?

About 6'6", 6'7 out of HS. Had unique game being able to play multiple positions including down low on occasions. Amazing strength, feel for the game & a defensive monster. A little crazy even in high school, but quite a player in his abbreviated stay here.
 
saw a clip of his son Ron Artest III, recently ('17). Looks really athletic and a little longer than Ron i.e. not as powerfully built.

That Riverside team really helped our program. Too bad we didn't land Elton Brand.
