My point is that one would think that a "brilliant" coach would figure these things out, and make adjustments to get the best out of his star.

I hold both accountable, unlike you.
Excuses. A superstar shouldn't need to be babied. No adjustments would've changed the fact that Dirk simply wasn't aggressive. He didn't look like he wanted the ball. And when he got it, he held it and waited.

Keep spinning it any way you want, if it makes you feel better. I'd rather live in reality, though.
