Is the timing right for Doug Gottlieb?

Not being familiar with the World Maccabiah Games, I looked it up. It is the third-largest sporting event in the world. The Maccabiah games recognizes all 28 current Olympic sports, plus many other sports such as chess, cricket and netball.

“Coaching is not just about Xs and Os,” said Gottlieb, who's been named head coach for Team USA in this summer's World Maccabiah Games. “Lots of guys can draw things up on paper. Lots of people can tell you about the history of basketball. What my skill is, I'm a communicator.
“Yes, I believe I have a high level of basketball intelligence. But there's plenty of basketball savants out there who can't communicate to kids and can't get them to execute it. And they also can't motivate kids. That's actually the best thing I do.”
Gottlieb said he and his wife long to return to Stillwater. His new job at FS1 already calls for a move, so why not leave Southern Cal for Stillwater? And the kids would fit, too, with their son a wrestler and their two daughters into equestrian.
“For me, it could be divine intervention,” he said. “We're ready.”
