Lue back! When the Philly media grills him he's just gonna tell em to kiss the ring

 

[pums]

How many times does a “good” coaching situation actually come up?

Vacancies usually open up for underperforming teams. Kidd was given a roster with champions expectations.

SAS kinda made a decent point earlier while, yes there have been black PGs that have gone directly from the playing ranks to the coaching ranks; they've been overwhelmingly in rebuilding or bad situations team wise when given those jobs (Mark Jackson, Fisher, Kidd, etc.) Rarely are they afforded situations where they are set up for success and subsequently are ostracized after and have to fight tooth and nail to get another gig.

TO's comments to stephen a has had lasting effects

How often are "good situations" afforded to prospective new hires period?

Aren't the majority of open coaching positions going to be on bad teams/franchises?

Or hang out in LA once Space Jam and Vogel bomb

Not necessarily. Even good playoff teams have had no problem getting rid of coaches for not getting them over the hump. Or you have stuff like what happened in Indy where a coach has overachieved and still gets the boot.

 

[picasso swerve]

Giannis need to hire @lethalshooter.

How many jobs are there that are set up for success tho? J Kidd walked into a 5 All Star lineup that severely disappointed...he then forced his way out to a team with (at the time) 2 Franchise building blocks in Giannis & Jabari . Derek Fisher is just a bad coach.

This is real bad for Giannis probably going to be named MVP within the week and may already be home. Worst case scenario for MIL.

George Karl won 56 games in the west....and COY with DUI Ty as his Best player in 2013. He got fired

It happens man. There’s of course bias (positional and perception) and a history of racism in coaching in the nba.

This new hire pg to coach stuff ain’t it tho. And the Nash example isn’t it.

 

[MVP]

Only Pop, Spo and Carlisle have been with their teams for more than a decade.

2/3 of the league has been 5 years or less, NBA has hella turnover. I wouldn't say all of the jobs are bad.

 

[pums]

Hella turnover yet all of these newer contracts where the coach finesses into a long term deal only to get fired less than half through

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ One could also look at the Nash situation as coming with a level of pressure/difficulty that guys hired to coach rebuilding teams don’t have to face. He’s going to be expected to have the Nets, who may have the two moodiest superstars in the league, one of whom is coming off terrible injury, as title contenders right off the bat. That’s not exactly an easy position to be in.

****** got a whole list of names that Nash "jumped"...knowing that if KD wanted ANY OF THEM to be the head coach they would have been

Also...consider the irony of STEPHEN A being the big media face of this argument. Wild times man

Kinda corny cause he knows damn well he needed Jordan too. So to go at rjeff like he was some scrub is stupid.
