Broncos coach Josh McDaniels is a pretty secretive guy when it comes to his team’s meetings and game plans. But on Wednesday he was more than happy to open his meeting rooms and practice session at Dove Valley to welcome Nuggets head coach George Karl.

McDaniels invited Karl, who is recovering from throat cancer, to spend the day here to information, discussing philosophies on coaching, scouting, teaching, and game preparation.

“I’m a big fan of his and what he’s done in his career. He’s had great success in the NBA and I’m a big NBA fan,” McDaniels said. “Certainly he’s overcome a great deal of adversity, personally with the things he’s had to deal with. It’s just a great privilege to have him around us.”

Karl said he was a silent observer in the Broncos morning meetings but that he would speak to the full team later Wednesday if asked by McDaniels. Karl said he was impressed with the level of sophistication of the Broncos’ preparation — comparing it to the way the Nuggets get ready for a playoff series. It seems the two coaches also share some basic philosophies.

“The one thing he said in his talk today that I really believe in is it’s how you play. It’s not necessarily how well you play or who you play,” Karl said. “Teaching is developing your players into how to play the game the right way. And the more players you have that play the right way, the easier it is to coach.”

Both coaches were asked, somewhat in jest, if Karl would seek advice from McDaniels on how to deal with an unhappy superstar player. Nuggets star Carmelo Anthony is reportedly looking for a trade, a situation to which McDaniels can surely relate after dealing with Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall in the last two offseasons.

“Fortunately that’s not my realm of responsibility,” Karl said. “My realm is trying to convince Melo to stay, and I’ll continue to do that when I have the opportunity.”
