How did Chuck Daly get selected to coach the 1992 Dream Team but Isiah Thomas was not selected to play?

[Hellbilly]

Wasnt Chuck Daly the coach of the Bad Boys? So he never had any say at all? I mean you can't stop the star of the Bad Boys from being on the team and have the coach of the Bad Boys coach the team.

Because during an all star game Isiah conspired to not let Michael Jordan score very much. In retaliation Michael said he wouldn’t play if Isiah was playing.
Karma is a motherfucker.

Politics. What else.

It could be the Thomas wasn’t good enough. He wasn’t better than magic or john Stockton. If not for the pistons’ team success IT would just be an star player, but certainly not one of the all time greats.

Anyone rated as a turnover king, which he was, gets no accolade from me.

Michael Jordan said No.

Then why the fuck was his coach on the team

Because Jordan was the Team and the Coach was just someone that would answer to Jordan...

Sort of like LeBron.

Sounds like you don't know jack shit there Sherlock. He is one of the worst rated 48 minute All Star ever. He was rated #4 on the Pistons team. Way overrated player. Now shut the fuck up.

Back when I was younger and more interested in sports, I've often wondered about the individual governing bodies for the different sports.

FIBA (I believe is the one for basketball) sets up the rules about eligibility and such. The FIBT is the one for Bobsledding or Bobsleigh. FIS is for skiing.
You get the idea. Anyway, the FIBT in bobsleigh allows multiple teams from the same nations. Like in 2018, two German teams medaled; one took gold, the other silver. The Germans are very good at the sport. Multiple skiers from the same countries compete in the Olympics as do multiple gymnasts, multiple ice skaters, etc.. Why doesn't FIBA allow multiple teams in basketball? The governing body in Soccer could certainly allow the same thing, hockey, handball, etc...

Instead of having the US blow out Angola every 4 years 150-27, have US-1 play US-2 or, if you prefer, in soccer, have Argentina I play Brazil II? There are ample opportunities for teams to qualify in the regional competitions that lead to Olympic placements. The goal isn't to deny teams or individuals the opportunity to compete but it should be the goal to allow players like Thomas to have the opportunity to compete in the Olympics.
