I don't know how he goes as a developer, but he doesn't do much for me as NB coach. He doesn't appear to have a lot of passion, nor have I heard anything that suggests strategic or tactical brilliance.
However, none of our development coaches appear to be doing a great job of developing our list. Nor do I see the sort of passion in the that I hope to see.
I did like Teague as a coach.
Having listened to a number of our assistants when addressing the NBs at qtr and 3 qtr time over very recent years, especially Webster, you couldn't fault them in terms of 'saying all the right things' but successful coaching/development/leadership people are first and foremost brilliant at 'connecting' with the players. Teague did this and the players really responded. And you can't teach that. Some people are naturally engaging with their communication skills/style.
